Constitution Day - Brandeis School of Law

To commemorate the 1787 signing of United States Constitution, the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law invites the UofL and greater Louisville community to join us for a keynote presentation and discussion by Frederick Lawrence, an American lawyer, civil rights scholar and 10th secretary and CEO of the Phi Beta Kappa Society - the nation's first and most prestigious honor society, founded in 1776.

In his presentation, Lawrence will address: What is a fully functioning democracy? Why must it be preserved, and what role can (and should) universities and law schools play in that enterprise?

Following Lawrence's presentation, Brandeis Law School Dean Melanie Jacobs will moderate a panel discussion featuring noted scholars in various aspects of constitutional law:

  • Cedric Merlin Powell, Brandeis Law School, Wyatt Tarrant & Combs Professor of Law
  • Samuel Marcosson, Brandeis Law School, Professor of Law
  • Enid Trucios-Haynes, Brandeis Law School, Professor of Law
  • Joe Dunman, Brandeis Law School, Assistant Professor of Law
  • Angela Curry, Office of the President, General Counsel and Vice President for Legal Affairs
