Constitution Day Event: Fight-or-Flighting Words
This Friday, Sept. 17 is "Constitution Day," the anniversary of the completion of the writing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. LLS commemorates Constitution Day each year with a presentation on a constitutional law topic. This year, Professor Aaron Caplan will present on a research project involving free speech rights under the First Amendment.
