Constitution Day is coming up—and this year, it’s an especially meaningful opportunity for courts to engage their communities.
On September 17, we’ll recognize Constitution Day as part of the yearlong celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
It’s an opportunity for courts to help the public better understand the Constitution, the role of an independent judiciary, and the principles that underpin our justice system.
Consider ways to bring civics education into your community through courthouse events, classroom visits, educational resources, or conversations about the role courts play in our democracy.
How will your court mark Constitution Day?
