As we wrap up, our young lawyers across the state have been in schools today, engaging students with presentations on civics and the Constitution. As Constitution Day continues, we’re highlighting the amendment process! Did you know the two-step process begins when an amendment is proposed by Congress and then ratified by state legislatures? Amendments can also be proposed at a national convention or ratified at a state convention, though none of the current amendments have followed this route.

In September 1789, 12 amendments were proposed to protect the most basic rights of U.S. citizens. Of these, 10 were ratified and became the Bill of Rights, with the final amendment ratified over 200 years later in 1992.

Here are more photos of our Young Lawyers visiting local schools to share engaging presentations on civics, government and what it's like to be a lawyer. Did you know the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights protects five important freedoms?
1. Freedom of Speech
2. Freedom of Religion
3. Freedom of the Press
4. Freedom of Assembly
5. Freedom of Petition

While none of these freedoms are absolute, they are pillars of American life. Along with other Constitutional amendments, the First Amendment has played a monumental role in shaping our nation. Next up, how the Constitution is amended!

Today we celebrate Constitution Day! On September 17, 1787, the Constitutional Convention concluded in Philadelphia and just 11 days later, the U.S. Constitution was adopted. This document is essential to the legal profession, outlining the rights we protect and the limits of governmental power.

Our Young Lawyers Division is making a difference today by going into schools to educate students about the significance of the Constitution and its role in shaping our legal system. Follow the SC Bar for more insights throughout the day! ⚖️
