Law Library: News & Events: Join Us on 9/14 for Constitution Day 2022 – The Hughes Court: From Progressivism to Pluralism, 1930 to 1941

Join us on September 14 at 3:00 PM EDT, in-person or online, for the Law Library’s annual Constitution Day event. This event will feature Harvard Law School William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law emeritus Mark Tushnet in an interview with University of Virginia School of Law Dean Risa Goluboff. 

Professor Tushnet and Dean Goluboff will discuss Professor Tushnet’s book on the Hughes-era United States Supreme Court, The Hughes Court: From Progressivism to Pluralism, 1930 to 1941. Professor Tushnet’s book is part of the Holmes Devise series of books that are funded by a gift from the late Associate Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes that describe the history of the United States Supreme Court.

The event will also feature opening remarks by Law Librarian of Congress Aslihan Bulut and closing remarks from Jeanne Dennis, senior counsel, Legal Programs and Initiatives, of the American Law Division of the Congressional Research Service. Jeanne will provide an update on the Constitution Annotated, a site that provides summaries of U.S. constitutional provisions and the leading U.S. Supreme Court decisions that have interpreted them.
