Join us as we bring together constitutional law scholars from across the country and feature robust debates and discussions on various constitutional law topics from both established and emerging scholars. The overall theme of the conference will alternate between issues of individual rights (including equality rights) and issues of constitutional structure (such as the separation of powers and federalism). This first annual conference will focus on the theme of individual rights.
About the Institute
The Constitutional Law Institute supports research and scholarship on longstanding constitutional issues as an integral part of the Law School’s scholarly and research mission. The Institute also shares the Law School’s commitment to free speech and intellectual inquiry that is independent of partisan fashions. The Institute promotes rigorous analysis of constitutional issues and then shares those ideas more broadly with the general public.
Since the Institute’s launch, it has hosted numerous events and activities, as well as produced two multi-season podcasts: Dissenting Opinions and Divided Argument. The Institute hosts a yearly schedule of roundtables, conferences, and podcast events, and plans to welcome visiting scholars in the coming years. Professor William Baude leads the Institute.
