American University is pleased to announce the launch of The Program on Legislative Negotiation (PLN), a new program that addresses the gridlock in Congress and in state legislatures, so that legislative bodies can better respond to today’s challenges and improve public trust in these institutions. The PLN is a joint endeavor of American University’s Washington College of Law and the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at the AU School of Public Affairs.

Congratulations to American University Washington College of Law’s chapter of the American Constitution Society, which has been named a recipient of the ACS national Programing Award.
