This year marks the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, but how does the English document compare to the Bill of Rights and how was the Bill of Rights read differently during the Civil Rights era? University of Mississippi School of Law Professor Ronald J. Rychlak will discuss these topics during Western Michigan University Cooley Law School's annual Constitutional Day event Thursday, Sept. 17.
Rychlak has been a faculty member at the University of Mississippi School of Law since 1987 and is an advisor to the Holy See's delegation at the United Nations. He is also author and co-author of numerous articles and nine books, including "Disinformation: Former Spy Chief Reveals Secret Strategies for Undermining Freedom, Attacking Religion, and Promoting Terrorism" which he wrote with Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest ranking Soviet bloc intelligence officer to defect to the West.
The event is free and open to the public and will be held from noon to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 17, at WMU-Cooley's Auburn Hills campus, 2630 Featherstone in Auburn Hills.
