Associate Attorney

Rowan Conybeare

Rowan Conybeare was introduced to campaign and election law in 2008 as a seventh grader. Her father was the lead election protection attorney in Southwest Michigan, and she got to follow him along as he worked to ensure that voting rights were protected on election day. Ever since, campaign and election law has been her passion.

She believes that the right to vote is at the root of every political, social, and economic issue. If voices are not heard in our democratic processes, large segments of society will be excluded from the decision-making process. Working to achieve expanded and protected voting rights, Conybeare has worked in Washington, D.C., at the Department of Justice in the Voting Section and at the Brennan Center for Justice. She has also worked on mayoral, congressional, senatorial, supreme court, and presidential campaigns—all for candidates who believe in a free and fair vote.

Conybeare graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy from the University of Michigan in 2018. After working at the Washtenaw County Public Defender’s Office for one year, she attended law school and graduated with her Juris Doctorate in 2022 from the University of North Carolina School of Law. She was active with the Innocence Project, Women in Law, and the North Carolina Law Review, where her article on election litigation in North Carolina during the COVID-19 pandemic was published.
