Last week, the Law Library celebrated a very successful Constitution Week! As part of our festivities commemorating the September 17th anniversary of the US Constitution’s signing, we hosted a fantastic lecture by Professor Riley Keenan on constitutional litigation and the effects of Trump v. CASA. Additionally, we also hosted a weeklong trivia contest, wherein students were invited to answer five questions about the constitution and be entered into a prize raffle. Then, on Friday, we drew our raffle winners and enjoyed our traditional Constitution Week cake! So, without further ado, the Law Library is pleased to announce this year’s raffle winners:
