UA Joins National Celebration of the U.S. Constitution's 220 Years
Recent Supreme Court cases to be discussed.
The year was 1787, and 39 men gathered to sign what would become the foundational document for the United States.
On Monday, Arizona law professors will join state and federal level judges to participate in an event meant to commemorate the U.S. Constitution while also educating the public about the 220-year-old document's legal purpose.
The 9th Annual Supreme Court Review Celebrating Constitution Day event will be held Monday, Sept. 17. The three-hour event, beginning at 2 p.m., will take place at the James E. Rogers College of Law, 1201 E. Speedway Blvd, in the Ares Auditorium or room 146.
The lawyers and judges will discuss several cases, including those involving prisoner complaints and considerations of race in school admissions. The experts will also talk about this year's landmark Massachusetts v. Environmenal Protection Agency case that, like all others to be discussed, was part of the Supreme Court's 2006-2007docket.
The event is sponsored by the William H. Rehnquist Center on the Constitutional Structures of Government and is part of nation-wide events. The event is free and open to the public, and continuing legal education credit is available.
