Today, the 17th Judicial Circuit joins Americans across the country in recognizing Constitution Day – a day that commemorates the adoption of the U.S. Constitution and celebrates those who have become U.S. citizens.
On September 17, 1787, delegates signed the Constitution in Philadelphia, establishing the foundation of our government and the principles that continue to guide our nation.
For the 17th Judicial Circuit, the Constitution holds special significance. It is the foundation of our justice system and the rule of law, guiding the courts in protecting rights, ensuring fairness and upholding justice.
We are proud to take note of this momentous occasion and honor the enduring principles of our Constitution.
