Constitution Day is September 17, and commemorates the formation and signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787.
To encourage all Americans to learn more about the Constitution, the U.S. Congress established Constitution Week in 1956, to be celebrated each year on September 17, the date in 1787 when delegates to the Convention signed the Constitution.
In 2004 U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia included key provisions in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of Fiscal Year 2005 that designates September 17 of each year as Constitution Day and requiring public schools and governmental offices to provide educational programs to promote a better understanding of the Constitution.
Celebrate Constitution Day by attending "Supreme Court Review: An Assessment of October Term 2023" held at the Conviser Law Center (room C50) featuring Professors Carolyn Shapiro, Raff Donelson, and Christopher Schmidt on Tuesday, September 17, 2024 at 4pm.
