On Friday, September 16, from 12 to 1 pm, Portland State University invites you to view a live video conference from the University of Oregon in recognition of Constitution Day. "Use of International Law when Interpreting the United States Constitution” can be accessed from your personal computer through the internet at http://tinder.uoregon.edu:8080/ramgen/broadcast/live. There are three panelists speaking at the conference: U of O Professor and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Margie Paris, the Honorable David Schuman, and Visiting Professor Hari Osofsky. Assistant Dean for Student Affairs at the U of O Law School, Liane Richardson, will be moderating the panel.

Across the country on or about September 17, education institutions will be hosting an event to remember the signing of the U.S. Constitution. The federal government has asked that all institutions receiving federal funding sponsor some type of event. To recognize the day, the Oregon University System is making available this live broadcast from the University of Oregon Law School.
