In The Constitution of Practice: On Law and Tradition, the Catholic University of America’s Marc O. DeGirolami defends a theory of constitutional law rooted in Americans’ political, legal, and cultural experience. Please join us for a conversation with Mr. DeGirolami and The Lamp’s Matthew Walther, moderated by AEI’s William Haun, on the role of tradition in law and its implications for political practice and civic life.

Join AEI’s Naomi Schaefer Riley as she facilitates a panel discussing how we can prioritize children’s best interests in kinship policy. The conversation explores how 'kin-first' policies may incentivize kin placement even when it is hazardous to the child.

AEI’s Frederick M. Hess and Yale University President Maurie McInnis will discuss the challenges facing higher education, the report’s key takeaways, and how Yale is putting its recommendations into practice on affordability, intellectual pluralism, grade inflation, and more.
