As a part of an initiative begun in 2015, the National Constitution center partnered with cspan to create a 12part series illustrating the history, issues, and people involved in monumental landmark cases. Through the resulting online videos and other classroom Resources Available at landmarkcases. Cspan. Org, students and educators can carefully analyze some famous and infamous cases. Last year, we continued this initiative through a series of town hall discussions.

Todays event is the culmination of this initiative and we are thrilled that our three panelists have joined us to celebrate Constitution Day
