Albany Law Review 2021 symposium: Grand Questions of the U.S. Constitution
The Albany Law Review, Vol. 84 held its 2021 symposium: Grand Questions of the U.S. Constitution before a virtual audience in June. The symposium addressed questions surrounding the country’s guiding document—the U.S. Constitution—and how it has endured history.
The lively panelists also discussed how the U.S. Constitution compares to those of other countries, if there is a need for reform, and how said reform might take shape.
Panelists included: Assistant Professor Ava Ayers; Tom Ginsburg, Leo Spitz Professor of International Law, Ludwig and Hilde Wolf Research Scholar, and Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago; Professor Jessica Knouse ’04, University of Toledo College of Law; and Evan Wolfson, Founder, Freedom to Marry, an organization that is widely considered the architect behind the campaign for marriage equality in the United States.
The symposium was moderated by Judge Rowan D. Wilson, Associate Judge, New York State Court of Appeals.
