Nassau Community College Presents Professor and Attorney Eric Lane: "Can a Document Save Our Democracy?" September 17

Garden City, NY This year NCC is proud to present the program "Can a Document Save Our Democracy?" on Wednesday, September 17 at 3:30p.m. in the College Center Building (CCB). The event, which is free and open to the public, is being held in celebration of Constitution Day. It features distinguished attorney Eric Lane, Professor of Public Law and Public Service at Hofstra Law School, whose latest book is entitled The Genius of America: How the Constitution Saved the Country and How It Can Again. Prof. Lane will make the case that the U.S. Constitution is a 'how-to' manual for curing what ails our body politic today.

In addition to his position at Hofstra Law School, Prof. Lane is a senior fellow at the prestigious Brennan Center of Justice at the New York University School of Law. Through 2005, he served as special counsel to the Speaker of the New York City Council. Prof. Lane has also served as counsel to the New York State Temporary Commission on Constitutional Revision, as the executive director/counsel to the New York City Charter Revision and, for six years, as chief counsel to the New York State Senate Minority.

"Can a Document Save Our Democracy" is sponsored by the Nassau Community College Constitution Day Committee. For more information about this upcoming event, please call Student Personnel Services at 516.572.7153.
