"I have often been astounded to meet with lawyers who have actually never read the Constitution of the United States, although it can be read within the time that is wasted at a street corner some afternoon discussing the last game of baseball or the last prize fight….Now, I beg you that this may not be said of any member of this law class that he allow this week to pass without reading the Constitution….Freedom and free institutions cannot long be entertained by a people who do not understand the nature of the government under which they live.
—Justice John Marshall Harlan I, October 14, 1897.
