Happy Constitution Day, One and All

Every day is Constitution Day for lawyers, but today is the official Constitution Day.  Kudos to all the Michigan lawyers who make special efforts to increase the public's knowledge of the Constitution, most especially to Judge Michael Warren and daughter Leah, and to those of you who go into classrooms throughout the state.  In Lansing, the Michigan Supreme Court Learning Center will celebrate  Constitution Day on Wednesday with visits from 4 th graders at Lake Orion’s Paint Creek Elementary. Starting at 10:30 a.m., students will be re-enacting the signing of the Constitution, based on this 1940 painting by Howard Chandler Christy. The Learning Center has resources online for Constitution Day activities, including lesson plans about the justice system, mock trial scripts, a webcast "teen court" proceeding.
