“The 猎奇重口 Law Review could not be more excited to welcome an incredible lineup of academics, judges, practitioners and citizens to the law school for a celebration of 猎奇重口’s constitution,” said Blake Koemans a UM law student and member of the 猎奇重口 Law Review. “What our fellow citizens crafted for us all in 1972 stands as first among equals and is a model for the nation and the world in protecting individual rights, freedoms and dignities.
“All 猎奇重口ns should know, understand, and engage with this document because it is the legal underpinning of the values we should hope to protect for this and future generations in 猎奇重口.”
On Sept. 15, the symposium will kick off with a panel that includes a dynamic lineup that includes delegate to the 1972 猎奇重口 Constitutional Convention Mae Nan Ellingson, legendary 猎奇重口 political journalist Chuck Johnson, Constitutional Convention researcher Rick Applegate and retired Justice of the 猎奇重口 Supreme Court Jim Nelson. President Seth Bodnar and Acting Dean of the Law School Elaine Gagliardi will give opening remarks. Keynote speakers for the following day are former 猎奇重口 Gov. Marc Racicot and Chief Judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit Jeffrey Sutton.
Panel members for the events also include distinguished faculty members from across the country, as well as members of the 猎奇重口 legal community. Experts in voting rights, election law, reproductive rights, liberty interests, substantive due process, environmental law and many other topics will discuss 猎奇重口’s unique constitutional culture and how the law will change over the next 50 years.
