In this edition of The Leaflet, you will learn about a new book on ideology in immigration, a book (coming soon) on how to make democracy more democratic, and one video featuring a leading scholar who will participate in The Global Summit, a first-of-its-kind event for all students and scholars of constitutionalism.

Every year, I am able to accept one or two invitations to serve as a visiting professor at another law school. Last year, I accepted an appointment in my native Canada as a “Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law” (a great title!) at the University of Toronto. This year, I am pleased to have accepted a position as “Visiting Professor of Law” at the Universidad de Especialidades Espíritu Santo. Circumstances permitting, I will travel to Ecuador in 2021 to teach a course on contemporary constitutionalism.

This week, the IFFC begins a new course on Constitutional Amendment in Constitutional Democracies, featuring registrants from over 15 countries.
And here at The University of Texas at Austin, I am entering the second week of the semester. I have 50 excellent students in my first-year course on Constitutional Law.

As always, I welcome your suggestions for collaborations and new programs.
