Rylee Sommers-Flanagan

The Montana Constitution Roadshow, presented by Upper Seven Law, explores the story behind Montana’s 1972 Constitution - crafted by Montanans, for Montanans, to reflect the values, priorities, and hopes of our state.

Rylee Sommers-Flannagan is a fifth generation Montanan who grew up in Missoula and spent summers on the family's working ranch in Absarokee. She founded Upper Seven Law in 2021, and in the years since, Upper Seven has filed over twenty cases prevailing in the vast majority challenging unconstitutional legislation, and improving conditions for Montana’s incarcerated population. A graduate of Stanford Law School, Sommers-Flanagan served as president of the Stanford student chapter of the American Constitution Society. She graduated magna cum laude from Emory University. There, Sommers-Flanagan founded Emory's Day On, a service day in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King. She also holds a creative writing degree from the University of St. Andrews.
