Are you working on a manuscript that could use some feedback? Have you published a new book that you would like to launch at a major conference? Do you want to meet scholars, students, and judges from around the world? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, join us at the Global Summit on Constitutionalism, to be held here in Austin on March 16-18, 2023. Registration closes soon. Early-career scholars are especially welcome. And there is no cost to register. All are invited! We look forward to hosting you.
