Colorado’s Constitution: How the Centennial State Serves as Both Inspiration and Cautionary Tale in Protecting Rights and Promoting Democracy
Featuring:
Moderator: Chandra Thomas Whitfield, Colorado Public Radio
Panelists:
- Alicia Bannon, Editor-in-Chief, State Court Report
Director, Judiciary Program, Brennan Center for Justice
- Justice Melissa Hart, Colorado Supreme Court
- Tom Romero, Associate Professor, Sturm College of Law
From Tabor, to water rights, to marijuana, Colorado residents have long turned to their constitution to expand rights and set norms that go beyond the protections and proscriptions offered in the U.S. Constitution. As public attention shifts from the U.S. Supreme Court to the states, what can the Colorado experience teach the nation—and what are the challenges facing Coloradans? Join us for a lively discussion, including a moderated Q&A and light refreshments.
Lead Sponsors: State Court Report, a project of the Brennan Center for Justice
Co-Sponsors: The Byron R. White Center for the Study of American Constitutional Law, COLab, Colorado Common Cause, Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, Colorado League of Women Voters, and Colorado Media Project
