On Saturday, 3 October 2026, FuJo was represented at VthePeople: Amending the Constitution through an Article V Convention, a two-day conference held at Harvard Law School exploring the possibility of using an Article V convention to amend the U.S. Constitution.
Our Director, Prof Jane Suiter, participated as a panelist in Blueprints: State Conventions and International Models, contributing to discussions on the opportunities and challenges presented by the Article V convention process.
The panel also featured Katrín Oddsdóttir, Imani D., Richard Albert, and David F. Guldenschuh, and was moderated by Laura Weinrib. The discussion brought together perspectives on constitutional reform from different national and institutional contexts, examining what can be learned from existing models and experiences.
The conference brought together scholars, legislators, and advocates from across the political spectrum to explore a constitutional amendment process that has never been used in the United States. Across two days, participants considered the potential role an Article V convention could play in American democracy, which amendments might be pursued, and how the process could be conducted responsibly, safely, and legitimately.
For FuJo, the conference provided an opportunity to contribute to these discussions while engaging with scholars and practitioners working on constitutional reform across different contexts.
A recording of the conference will be available on the Harvard Law School YouTube channel.
