Speaker Bio
Yael Bromberg is a constitutional rights attorney with twenty years of experience in community organizing, advocacy, and campaigns. She counsels and represents individuals, organizations, and unions in state and federal courts across the country with a special emphasis on election law, voting rights, free speech, civil rights, and labor cases.

Bromberg teaches election law at American University Washington College of Law. She is a national leading expert of the Twenty Amendment, and has published legal scholarship centered on its "Unfulfilled Promise" and "Unwritten Future" in the University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitution Law and Rutgers University Law Review. Bromberg served as faculty advisor of the first legal volume dedicated to the Amendment, published by the Rutgers Law Review.

Recently, she co-edited and co-authored a new book "Youth Voting Rights: Civil Rights, the Twenty-Sixth Amendment, and the Fight for Democracy on College Campuses." The book is based on a course she co-designed and teaches on the subject matter, across four institutions including 3 HBCUs: Prairie View A&M University, Tuskegee's University, North Carolina A&T University, and Bard College. The resulting book teaches, for the first time, evolution of the right to vote from the perspective of college campuses who helped shape it as sites of legal precedent.

Bromberg's academic partnerships include the Rutgers Eagleton Institute for Politics, Bard College Center for Civic Engagement, and Harvard Kennedy School Trotter Collaborative for Social Justice.
