The Constitution in 2020 at the National Press Club

By Jack M. Balkin

This Tuesday, July 14-- which will also be the second day of the Sotomayor hearings-- Reva Siegel and I will be participating in an event at the National Press Club that discusses our new book, The Constitution in 2020. The event is sponsored by the American Constitution Society.

The panel will discuss the Constitution's future, constitutional visions and debates about constitutional interpretation, and the role of social movements and the political branches as well as the courts in promoting and defending constitutional values.

The panelists will include Mark Tushnet of Harvard Law School (and the Balkinization blog), our colleague Tracey Meares of Yale Law School, and former acting Solicitor General Walter Dellinger of Duke Law School and O'Melveny and Meyers.

If you want to hear about the key constitutional issues are that our country will face in the next decade, please join us. You can register for the event here.
