UChicago Constitutional Law Conference

You are cordially invited to join us for the First Annual UChicago Constitutional Law Conference on May 16, 2025. Our hope is that this event will mark the beginning of an annual conference, bringing together constitutional law scholars from across the country each spring. The conference will 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.

Jack Balkin, Yale Law School

Rachel Bayefsky, University of Virginia School of Law
