The Social Justice Advocacy Concentration, Office of Student Affairs, and American Constitution Society invite all members of our campus community to observe Constitution Day on Thursday, September 22.  1L students, you have received – or shortly will receive – a copy of the Constitution through your Criminal Law class, in lead-up to our observation of Constitution Day.   This year, we chose to distribute the Constitutions in Criminal Law class because so much of the important Constitutional jurisprudence takes place in the criminal law context.

Upperclassmen, if you did not receive a copy of the Constitution last year, or wish to have a new copy, copies will be available at our Constitution Day event, as well.

The event, entitled “The Constitution in the Supreme Court:  Legitimacy, Reform, and the Role of the People,”  will take place in Classroom F on Thursday, September 22.  Professor Virelli, our featured speaker, will address several topics that have been part of the recent public conversation with respect to the Supreme Court, which may include court appointments, recusal, the role of dissent in society, and recent questions with respect to stare decisis and the court’s legitimacy.

Lunch will be served.
