Southern ACS Presents Constitution Day: Voting Rights in 2026
Join the SULC American Constitution Society (ACS) for our Constitution Day Panel Discussion, featuring an engaging conversation on the important and timely topics of Louisiana v. Callais, voting rights, and racial gerrymandering. The event will feature distinguished guest speakers who have written about, worked on, and/or been directly impacted by the legal issues surrounding Louisiana v. Callais, as well as the broader issues of voting rights and racial gerrymandering.
Together, the panelists will examine the legal and constitutional questions surrounding the case, discuss its potential implications for voting rights and representation, and provide insight into the broader significance of racial gerrymandering. The discussion will be guided by questions thoughtfully selected by the ACS Executive Board, allowing attendees to hear multiple perspectives and engage with complex constitutional issues.
This event provides a valuable opportunity for students interested in constitutional law, civil rights, voting rights, and the role of the judiciary to learn from knowledgeable speakers, ask questions, and participate in meaningful dialogue about issues that directly affect our legal system and communities.
