The Cato Institute’s annual Constitution Day symposium marks the day in 1787 that the Constitutional Convention finished drafting the US Constitution. We celebrate that event each year with the release of the new issue of the Cato Supreme Court Review and a daylong symposium featuring noted scholars discussing the recently concluded Supreme Court term and important upcoming cases.
