Add to My Calendar Tuesday, June 14, 2016 5:30pm

Location 

Keker and Van Nest
633 Battery Street
San Francisco, CA 94111

Join the ACLU of Northern California, American Constitution Society, CCR, and the National Lawyers Guild to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Center for Constitutional Rights. We will host a reception, conversation, and book signing with David Cole, Professor of Law and Policy and author of "Engines of Liberty: The Power of Citizen Activists to Make Constitutional Law," and Baher Azmy, Legal Director of CCR.

“In Engines of Liberty, David Cole turns constitutional law on its head. With his characteristic intelligence and clarity, Cole demonstrates that the law changes from the bottom up, not the top down, and that it is citizens, not judges, who are the ultimate custodians of our nation’s laws.”
Jeffrey Toobin, author of The Oath and The Nine
