The event is open to the entire Dartmouth community and will include panels and presentations by nationally renowned constitutional law scholars, Supreme Court advocates, and students completing a Winter Term course about the case.

A fee of $25 includes all sessions, a Friday evening reception at the Hopkins Center for the Arts, and lunch on Saturday.
