WHAT WE DO
In the years since The Constitution Project was established, the debate over the meaning and relevance of America’s founding charter has intensified. Throughout this period, TCP has served a vital role as a unique source of credible scholarship and bipartisan policy recommendations on a myriad of challenging constitutional issues. Working in collaboration with the members of its esteemed blue-ribbon committees, TCP staff undertakes original research, develops policy positions, publishes reports and statements, testifies before Congress, files amicus briefs and holds regular briefings with legislative staff and other policymakers. TCP’s work has been cited by numerous government agencies, as well as leading law and policy organizations.
The Constitution Project also devotes significant resources to public education events, including its annual Constitution Day program, which is streamed live to law schools around the nation. Publishing materials that bring clarity to complex constitutional problems and solutions is also a part of TCP’s mandate, as evidenced by the continuing relevance of “Great and Extraordinary Occasions: Developing Guidelines for Constitutional Change,” TCP’s inaugural report, which still serves as a primer on the constitutional amendment process. TCP staff and blue-ribbon committee members frequently author op-ed pieces and are sought-after news sources for mainstream media nationwide.
Inaugural Annual Report Published
 As we embarked on our 15th year as one of the nation’s leading voices of bipartisan reform, we decided the time was right to begin to capture the highlights of each new year in an annual report.
The 2010 Annual Report offers readers—those with and without familiarity with our mission and work – an overview of the scholarship, policy reforms, advocacy and public education initiatives that support our criminal justice and rule of law programs.
Our inaugural report has been very well received and we hope that you will review it and also let us know how we are doing.
