About this Event
"The Constitution of 1787, written and amended under conditions of mass political exclusion, presents a profound but largely unacknowledged challenge to republican governance. Multiple generations of Americans have been able to meet that challenge by enshrining their values and commitments into our higher law, not through adherence to the written Constitution, but by creating a new, unwritten one. Only by building on the work of these unheralded constitutional drafters can we create the republic the Founders' Constitution promised but could not deliver."
Jamal Greene is the Dwight Professor of Law at Columbia Law School, where he teaches courses in constitutional law, the law of the political process, and comparative constitutional law. He is the author of How Rights Went Wrong: Why Our Obsession With Rights Is Tearing America Apart, as well as numerous scholarly articles and book chapters on constitutional law and theory. From January 2023 to December 2024, he served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the DOJ Office of Legal Counsel. He served as a law clerk to the Hon. Guido Calabresi on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and to the Hon. John Paul Stevens on the U.S. Supreme Court. He earned his J.D. from Yale Law School and his A.B. from Harvard College.
