FIU observes Constitution Day, a time to reflect on the enduring principles that guide the United States of America and define the rights and responsibilities of Americans.

Florida Supreme Court Justice John Couriel will speak on Wednesday, September 17, 2025 12:20pm to 2:00pm EDT.

Justice Couriel authored the (unanimous) opinion that Florida citizens could not petition the court to enforce the state criminal statutes, which allowed Governor DeSantis to continue spending tax dollars fighting a citizen initiative to amend the state constitution, in violation of Florida statutes.
