Meet the Colorado Judiciary

Join the DU and CU chapters of the American Constitution Society for an opportunity to network with Colorado Court of Appeals judges, Colorado Supreme Court justices, and current clerks. The event is divided into three parts: a networking lunch, a panel, and court tour of the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center.
