NOW ACCEPTING RULE OF LAW AMBASSADORS FOR THE 2026-2027 ACADEMIC YEAR

The Society for the Rule of Law is a national membership organization of conservative, libertarian, and center-right lawyers, alongside independent and open-minded constitutionalists, committed to defending the Rule of Law, constitutional checks and balances, and the integrity of American democracy.

We are proud to launch the Rule of Law Ambassadors Program – an initiative designed to support and empower law students and professors who are committed to advancing these principles on their campuses.

Rule of Law Ambassadors are students and academics who believe in constitutional governance, the separation of powers, and that the Rule of Law must transcend partisan politics. We welcome applicants from a range of perspectives – including moderates, independents, and other open-minded constitutionalists – who share a commitment to these foundational ideals.

Through this program, the Society aims to cultivate a national network of emerging and established legal thinkers who will serve as principled stewards of the Constitution and advocates for the Rule of Law in their communities.
