Constitution Day Lecture with Professor Akhil Amar.

Akhil Reed Amar is Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale. His passion is the U.S. Constitution, and he claims to be both a liberal and an originalist. Bring your questions about how we today should go about interpreting the Constitution, and also about what the Constitution as best interpreted really does say about the presidency, and he will try to answer them. Free signed hardbound copies of his 2021 book, The Words That Made Us: America’s Constitutional Conversation, 1760-1840, will be given out as Constitution Day gifts to early attendees of this event.

Akhil Reed Amar is Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale University, where he teaches constitutional law in both Yale College and Yale Law School. After graduating from Yale College, summa cum laude, in 1980 and from Yale Law School in 1984, and clerking for Judge (later Justice) Stephen Breyer, Amar joined the Yale faculty in 1985 at the age of 26. He is Yale’s only living professor to have won the University’s unofficial triple crown — the Sterling Chair for scholarship, the DeVane Medal for teaching, and the Lamar Award for alumni service.
