Wayne Law Review symposium to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Michigan’s Constitution?Oct. 11
The 2013 Wayne Law Review Symposium, “A Wave of Change: Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Michigan’s Constitution and the Evolution of State Constitutionalism” will be hosted on Friday, Oct. 11, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. 
This year’s symposium marks the 50th Anniversary of Michigan’s Constitution. 
Ratified in 1963, it was part of a wave of change in state constitutions sparked by the “one person, one vote” standard formulated by the U.S. Supreme Court in Baker v. Carr. After 1963, nine states ratified new constitutions as part of this wave. 
This symposium seeks to evaluate the progress of state constitutions over the past 50 years. 
Speakers will include national scholars on state constitutionalism as well as Michigan judges, practitioners, and community members.
