Ira C. Rothgerber, Jr. Conference

The Ira C. Rothgerber, Jr. Conference on Constitutional Law is an annual White Center event that brings scholars from across the country to Colorado Law for a discussion on a current constitutional issue. 

Last year, participants in the 19th Annual Rothgerber Conference explored issues related to a constitutional right of access to justice.

This year, the 20th Annual Rothgerber Conference, focused on public constitutional literacy. Harvard Law School Professor Mark Tushnet delivered the keynote address, "Constitutional Literacy Outside the Courts," on Thursday, November 29, 2012.

On Friday, November 30, three panels of scholars explored the following topics:

• What is Constitutional Literacy & Why Does it Matter?
• The Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project
• Other Approaches to Teaching the Public About Law & the Constitution
