Launching this week, our LIVE online classes are part lecture, part lively conversation and perfect for life long learners. 
In this week's session, examine the structure and function of the U.S. Constitution, and the methods scholars use to interpret it. The session will conclude with the ideas behind the practice of civil dialogue skills where we channel our inner Louis Brandeis who famously remarked, “Come let us reason together!”
