Events
The museum hosts speakers and events on historic and current constitutional topics. The center hosts a yearly program, the "Peter Jennings Project for Journalists and the Constitution", which puts a select group of very accomplished midcareer journalists through an immersion experience in constitutional issues. Jennings Fellows participate in case law workshops, witness a vibrant moot court featuring the nation’s top litigants as they grapple with a thorny contemporary topic, and engage in dynamic programming that shows the Constitution as the foundation of American life, rather than a legal document understood only by judges and constitutional scholars.
