22nd Annual Constitution Day
The Supreme Court: Past and Prologue
A Look at the 2022 and 2023 Terms
Five Virginia CLE credits will be offered to both in-person and online attendees. Online CLE attendees can register here.
Cato’s annual Constitution Day symposium marks the day in 1787 that the Constitutional Convention finished drafting the U.S. Constitution. We celebrate that event each year with the release of the new issue of the Cato Supreme Court Review and with a day‐long symposium featuring noted scholars discussing the recently concluded Supreme Court term and the important cases coming up.
