From the Director's Desk

What is the most important book in modern constitutionalism? We may soon know the answer. I am running a multi-week poll to find the answer. More details below. Please vote!

This week, I will give the Constitutional Day Lecture at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I will also speak to the AJUFE, the Association of Federal Judges of Brazil. More details below.

Two weeks to go until the deadline to register for The Global Summit in Constitutionalism, a first-of-its-kind multilingual event for students and professors of all levels of seniority.  Please join us!

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