The Centre for Constitutional Studies is an academic research centre based at the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Law. The Centre focuses its research on constitutional issues through a variety of lenses, such as historical, legal, and political. It engages Albertans, Canadians, and international publics in discussing the nature and importance of constitutions and constitutional matters.
Established in 1987 through collaboration between the University of Alberta’s Departments of History, Political Science, and the Faculty of Law, the Centre emphasizes public legal education and engagement alongside its research activities. It does this through public lectures, conferences, and publications.
The Centre for Constitutional Studies is looking forward to co-sponsoring (with Ms. Magna Carta) Carolyn Harris’ visit to discuss Magna Carta in November.
The Centre provides excellent articles and lectures to students and interested members of the public year round. Third year law student Mark Moore authored the text above, and has made some wonderful contributions to the works of the Centre. He has written two pieces on our favorite subject, the Magna Carta!
The two articles which will be posted tomorrow and Friday were originally written for and appear on the Centre for Constitutional Studies website. Thank you to Mark Moore for these great articles!
