The Pelican Institute for Public Policy will host a Constitutional Convention Forum on Tuesday, August 20, 2019 at the Old State Capitol in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  The forum will kick off with lunch beginning at 11:30 am followed by an afternoon of panel discussions taking a hard look at the principles and ideas that animate a great state constitution.  We'll bring national and state experts together to focus on what the ideal executive, legislative, and judicial branches look like, including the proper balance between state and local governance.
