This week marks 800 years since the signing of the Magna Carta. To commemorate this historic anniversary, the Clinton Foundation, in partnership with the Clinton School of Public Service and the Pulaski County Bar Association, invites you and a guest to, “The Magna Carta at 800,” on Friday, June 26, at NOON. The program will feature the distinguished Lewis Neilson, Jr., Chancellor of the National Society Magna Charta Dames and Barons.

Signed in 1215 by King John of England, the Magna Carta has persisted as one of the most influential charters in history. Its principles of individual liberty, right to trial by jury, and legal supremacy have informed a wide variety of documents, from the United States Constitution to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Mr. Neilson will discuss the importance of the Magna Carta as well as the institutions that have preserved its principles.

This event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required. Call 501-748-0425 with any questions.
