    The responses of local, state, and federal governments to COVID-19 have given rise to a plethora of constitutional questions. To celebrate Constitution Day, the presenters will lead a discussion of many of the constitutional structural and liberties issues that have resulted from masking, distancing, isolation, testing, tracing, and other measures intended to control the spread and impact of the Virus.
