Forbes have released their “30 Under 30” list, featuring lawyers who have made – or will make their mark in the legal arena.

Among the list are lawyers who you may well not have yet heard of but who are making their mark in the magazine’s “Law and Policy” list.

The llistees:

Adina Appelbaum (pictured) who launched the Crim-Imm Pro Bono Project, to address the disproportionate immigration consequences of state criminal convictions
Elizabeth Clark-Polner who does not have a law degree, but does have an undergraduate degree from Yale in cognitive science, and a Ph.D. from the University of Geneva, which provides here with her position as an Associate Research Scholar in Law at Yale Law School.
Greg Glod, Manager of State Initiatives & Senior Policy Analyst at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, where he works on criminal-justice reform. He earned his law degree from the University of Maryland.
Alex Harris a graduate of Harvard Law and former Harvard Law Review editor, and who is currently clerking for Justice Anthony M. Kennedy. What makes him stand out from the other 30 or so SCOTUS clerks? His nomination by Forbes was assisted by his authorship of Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations and Start Here: Doing Hard Things Right Where You Are, co-authored with his twin brother.
Joshua House is a lawyer of a somewhat different stripe, being at the libertarian Institute for Justice (IJ), where he is involved in reducing abusive municipal code enforcement and fines that disproportionately affect poor people.
