LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - To celebrate Constitution Day this Wednesday, September 17, the History, Political Science, Economics, and Geography Department at Lock Haven University will present "A Conversation on the Constitution: Judicial Independence" in Raub Hall room 206 at 7:15 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.
The highlight of the program is a 32-minute video produced by the Annenberg Foundation in 2006 featuring Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Anthony M. Kennedy, and Stephen G. Breyer. They discuss with a group of high school students the role of the courts under the Constitution.
Dr. Stan Berard of the LHU political science program will provide an introduction to the issues raised in the video presentation. The program will conclude with Berard and Dr. Tom Farley, also an LHU professor of political science, taking questions and guiding discussion from the audience.
