Keeping Faith with the Constitution: ACS To Release New Publications
On Friday, May 1, which is Law Day, ACS will release two important new books on the Constitution and constitutional interpretation, and host a panel discussion with the authors and other experts on the ideas presented in the books. Keeping Faith with the Constitution offers a compelling and common-sense approach to constitutional interpretation that is faithful the Constitution's words and principles and explains why it is the world's most enduring written Constitution. The authors of the book are three leading constitutional scholars: Goodwin Liu, Pamela S. Karlan and Christopher H. Schroeder. The companion volume, entitled It Is a Constitution We Are Expounding: Collected Writings on Interpreting Our Founding Document, is an anthology of excerpts of some of the finest existing writing on methods of constitutional interpretation, taken from decisions of the Supreme Court and other opinions and speeches by Justices and judges, the scholarly literature, and other sources. It was edited by Pamela Harris and Karl Thompson, and includes a Foreword by Professor Laurence H. Tribe. These books are designed to be useful to a wide readership, including lawyers, judges, law students, and every citizen engaged in the nation's debates over the Constitution, the courts, and judicial nominations. The panel will feature Dahlia Lithwick, Charles J. Cooper, Pamela Harris, Pamela S. Karlan, Goodwin Liu, and Christopher H. Schroeder.
