Constitution Day 2019 featuring Kannon Shanmugam: "The State of the Constitution"

Seats are still available for tomorrow's Constitution Day event! Kannon Shanmugam, head of the Supreme Court practice at Paul, Weiss, will speak about the role of the judiciary in our constitutional system and the relationship between the judiciary and the other branches of government.

Kannon is a partner in the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison.  He heads the firm’s Supreme Court and appellate litigation practice and is managing partner of the firm’s Washington office. Widely recognized as one of the nation’s premier appellate advocates, Kannon has argued 27 cases before the Supreme Court, including several of the Court’s most significant recent business and criminal cases.  Beyond the Supreme Court, he has argued dozens of appeals in courts across the country.  In ranking Kannon in the first tier of appellate advocates nationwide, Chambers USA praised him as “brilliant” and “unflappable."
 
The discussion will take place at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, September 17, in the Mumford Room (LM-649), located on the sixth floor of the Madison Building, 101 Independence Ave. S.E. The program is free and open to the public. Registration is highly recommended.
