We hope you can join us in person or online for our annual Constitution Day event on September 11 at 3 p.m. EDT in the Library’s Jefferson Building, room LJ119. This event will feature Yale Law School’s Sterling Professor of Law Robert Post in an interview with the Dean of the Georgetown University Law Center William Treanor.
Please register for the in-person event here.
You can also view this event online here.
Professor Post and Dean Treanor will discuss Professor Post’s book, The Taft Court: Making Law for a Divided Nation, 1921–1930. Professor Post’s book is part of the Holmes Devise series of books that are funded by a gift from the late Associate Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. The Holmes Devise series describes the history of the United States Supreme Court.
The event will also feature opening remarks by Law Librarian of Congress Aslihan Bulut and closing remarks from Jeanne Dennis, senior counsel, Legal Programs and Initiatives, of the American Law Division of the Congressional Research Service. Jeanne will provide an update on the Constitution Annotated, a site that provides summaries of U.S. constitutional provisions and the leading U.S. Supreme Court decisions that have interpreted them. We hope you can join us.
