The Byron R. White Center for the Study of American Constitutional Law was founded in 1990 through the generous bequest of one of the Law School's most outstanding graduates and patrons, Ira. C. Rothgerber, Jr. Named in honor of the retired Supreme Court Justice and University of Colorado alumnus, the Byron White Center is an important educational resource for the Law School, for the University, and for the citizens of Colorado. The purposes of the Center are to enhance the study and teaching of constitutional law, and to stimulate public debate and understanding of our constitutional system.
