The event is free and open to the public and the lecture begins at 5 p.m. in Blount Auditorium of Buckman Hall on the Rhodes campus. There will be a reception and book signing following the lecture. A noted historian of the Supreme Court and the Constitution, Urofsky will explore great dissents and dissenters in the history of the Court. Although dissenting opinions represent the \u201closing\u201d side of a case, they play an important role in the nation\u2019s ongoing constitutional conversation and they sometimes end up shaping future decisions. Those with specific inquiries about the series or lecture can contact Dr. Jonathan Judaken, the Spence L. Wilson Chair in Humanities at Rhodes, at judakenj@rhodes.edu or (901) 843-3292. <a href=\"http:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Rhodes-constitution-day-flyer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-483\" src=\"http:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Rhodes-constitution-day-flyer-194x300.jpg\" alt=\"Rhodes constitution day flyer\" width=\"194\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Rhodes-constitution-day-flyer-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Rhodes-constitution-day-flyer-662x1024.jpg 662w, https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Rhodes-constitution-day-flyer.jpg 665w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memphis Law students, faculty, and staff are invited to attend\u00a0Rhodes College\u2019s annual Constitution Day Lecture, of which the law school is&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":616,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471\/revisions\/616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/memphislawblog.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
