Constitutional Convention conference part one

First half of the "A Constitutional Convention for Rhode Island?" conference co-hosted with the Hassenfeld Institute for Public Leadership, Roger Williams University School of Law, and the League of Women Voters of Rhode Island.

Join us for 'A Constitutional Convention for Rhode Island?'

On behalf of the staff and faculty at the Hassenfeld Institute for Public Leadership at Bryant University, the Roger Williams University School of Law, Common Cause Rhode Island, and the League of Women Voters of Rhode Island, we formally invite you to participate in our program that will be held at Bryant University on Saturday, March 29th from 9:00 to 1:00.  This event is free and open to the public.  We ask you to register here.

The program will focus on the upcoming vote to authorize a constitutional convention, and if passed, the selection of delegates, and the mechanics of a convention and subsequent referenda.  National experts will discuss the design and legal status of state constitutions, and focus on the process of state constitutional reform across the states.  Another group will discuss whether Rhode Island should have a constitutional convention and, if so, what areas of the Rhode Island constitution may be in need of amendment.

Symposium Leader- Professor Diana Hassel, Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Roger Williams University School of Law
