Come celebrate Constitution Day 2016 with Dr. John Eastman and the Claremont Institute’s Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence. We will be commemorating the 229th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution with a full day of events at the Chapman University School of Law. There will be panel discussions covering some of the most pressing threats to our constitutional system, including the erosion of the separation of powers, the overreach of the administrative state, and the politicization of the executive branch. We will be privileged to hear a keynote address from Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt and will also be honoring our Jurisprudence Award recipient, Judge Alice Batchelder.
The Claremont Institute would like to thank the Federalist Society for co-sponsoring the day's events; The Heritage Foundation, Michael T. Alexander, and the Private Trust Management Group for sponsoring our panels; Larry & Margie Smith for sponsoring the keynote address; the Busch Firm for sponsoring the cocktail reception; and Richard Christy and Ed Laird.
