Each September, our nation commemorates Constitution Day, honoring the document that laid the foundation for our democracy and continues to shape the rule of law today. The Utah State Bar is proud to help lawyers, teachers, families, and the public connect with the Constitution in meaningful, engaging ways.
That’s why we created the Utah State Bar Constitution Day page — a hub of interactive tools, resources, and opportunities designed to bring the Constitution to life for everyone.

CLEs for Lawyers
The Bar proudly presents Constitution Day 2025: A CLE Two-Part Series, offering lawyers a unique opportunity to reflect on the enduring influence of the U.S. Constitution on the practice of law in Utah.
- Session One (September 9, 12–1 pm) features a practitioner panel with Simón Cantarero, John A. Adams, and Kristin “Katie” Woods, who will explore how the Constitution continues to guide advocacy and professional civility in legal practice (1 hour professionalism/civility MCLE credit).
- Session Two (September 30, 12–1 pm) will bring together distinguished members of the Utah and U.S. judiciary to discuss how constitutional principles shape judicial service, ethical boundaries, and the rule of law in Utah (1 hour ethics MCLE credit). Both sessions will be held via Zoom, with login details provided before each event.
Participants may register for both sessions for $50 or individually for $30 each, with up to 2 hours of CLE credit available (pending approval). Register using your Practice Portal.
