The Evolution of the Constitutions of Virginia
Join the Virginia Law Foundation and the Library of Virginia for an engaging exploration of Virginia’s seven constitutions and their enduring influence on law, government and civil rights.

Attorneys and history enthusiasts alike will gain valuable insight into the constitutional foundations that continue to shape Virginia law today. This public program is open to all and will begin with an hour of coffee and community, followed by presentations by University of Virginia law professor A.E. Dick Howard and historian Brent Tarter, as well as a special opportunity to view original constitutional and related documents from the Library of Virginia’s archives.
