What do laws written in the 18th and 19th centuries mean here in the 21st?

Join the ACLU of Maine Legal Director Carol Garvan for an informative talk on the origins and modern-day applications of some of the constitutional amendments that form the bedrock of our democracy. By investigating the text of key amendments and their application in legal cases before the courts today, we will explore the Constitution as both a historical and a living document.

This event was created in partnership with the Camden Public Library, and will be hosted at the library. You can register for the event on their website.
