Constitution Day 2011 Discussion

Published by Tynan Shevlin on September 13, 2011 in Event Announcements, General News, Law School, On Campus and Speaker. 0 Comments

For 222 years Americans have lived under the United States Constitution. Now, some voices argue that a new constitutional convention should be called to consider changing the Constitution. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a convention? Are there areas of the Constitution where improvement is desirable? How might a new Constitution differ from the one we have? What might be lost if such an initiative goes forward?

These and other questions will be discussed by Saint Louis University School of Law faculty members including Roger Goldman, Joel K. Goldstein, Douglas Williams and Hon. Michael Wolff on Friday, September 16 from 12PM-1PM. The discussion will take place in the William H. Kniep Courtroom in Morrissey Hall. The event is free and open to the entire SLU community.
