UC Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky is a founder and leader of “We Hold These Truths,” a new nationwide effort to promote freedom, equality, and democracy through public education about the protections provided by the U.S. Constitution — and the essential importance of preserving them. Chemerinsky created the project with former U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge J. Michael Luttig and Drexel Law Professor Lisa Tucker. “We hope these principles remind us that what unites us as a country, our deeply held underlying values, is greater than what divides us,” Chemerinsky and Luttig write in an @latimes op-ed.
