The American Constitution Society (ACS) has named Arthur Etter, a rising 3L at Michigan Law, as one of 34 Next Generation Leaders for 2024. The program recognizes students who have demonstrated special leadership in their work with the organization’s student chapters. The ACS also recognized the Michigan Law student chapter as its 2024 Student Chapter of the Year.
As part of the program, which launched in 2007, Etter will develop leadership skills through opportunities such as training and career advancement calls and introductions to lawyer chapter leaders.
“I am thrilled to be selected as a Next Generation Leader,” said Etter upon receiving the recognition. “And I hope to build connections with progressive lawyers and law students across the country.”
Etter joined the ACS student chapter as a 1L representative and was elected co-president with Ryan Jansen, also a rising 3L, for the 2023–2024 academic year. During that time, they oversaw a slate of more than 25 events, including a visit from former US Attorney General Eric Holder.
“ACS provides an opportunity to discuss and learn about pressing legal issues from a progressive viewpoint,” said Etter. “I got involved with ACS because I wanted to help build a community for progressive students at Michigan Law and create opportunities to engage with a range of progressive legal professionals, including scholars, judges, and practitioners.”
Etter is spending the summer in San Francisco at Altshuler Berzon, a public interest law firm that focuses on labor and constitutional law. He hopes to pursue a career in either public defense or public interest complex litigation.
