The Model Constitutional Convention will take place May 21–24, 2026, at Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, MO. We invite undergraduate, law, and master’s students excited about constitutional law, history, design, and reform to apply. A travel stipend, lodging, and food will be provided to all participants! Learn more at our website here, where you can access the application. Applications will be accepted through January 15, 2026, at 11:59 pm CST.
As participants, students will step into the role of U.S. state delegates to reimagine our nation’s founding document. Together, they will attempt to enact constitutional change through dialogue, debate, and democratic decision-making. The convention will also feature leading constitutional scholars as keynote speakers and dedicated faculty mentors who will guide the process.

We encourage all to apply, and look forward to a wonderful and inspiring convention next spring!
