UBalt Constitution Day Panel Looks At Equal Protection Clause Across Supreme Court Decisions
The University of Baltimore’s annual Constitution Day observance will examine the ways the Equal Protection Clause in the Fourteenth Amendment has been interpreted and applied across history, from Brown v. Board in 1954 to the Harvard affirmative action decision in 2023.
The panel discussion, featuring constitutional law scholars from the UBalt School of Law, will take place in the Moot Courtroom of the Angelos Law Center, 1401 N. Charles St., Baltimore, on Tuesday, Sept. 17 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. The event is open to the public. Register for the event.

Prof. Michael Meyerson, author of Endowed by Our Creator: The Birth of Religious Freedom in America (2012), will explore how the Fourteenth Amendment was interpreted by the Supreme Court in the 2023 ruling on Students for Fair Admissions v.
