Constitution Day is just around the corner and The Mountain Judicial Circuit Bar Association has planned a special event to mark the occasion.

Association President Tricia Hise says the document will be read in its entirety from the Preamble to the last ratified amendment. She says the purpose of the event is “to pause and reflect upon the magnitude and significance of the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787,” and to educate the public and students about the supreme law of the land. “The words of the Constitution are powerful, deliberate and moving,” Hise says.
