This T14 Law School Has Some Trouble With Spelling

Should you be concerned if a law school can’t spell "constitution"?

Yesterday was Constitution Day, a federal holiday to commemorate the day the U.S. Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787. Throughout the years, law schools across the country celebrated with all sorts of programming, ranging from lectures given by constitutional law experts to visits from Supreme Court justices.

Over at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, students and professors were encouraged via Twitter to share what the Constitution means to them. For denizens of Penn Law, the Constitution means freedom — and free cake! Oh, what a cake it was:

Happy Constilution Day, everyone!

People immediately began to question Penn Law’s typo-laden cake. One prospective law student asked, “If you can make typos on a cake can I have a couple in my application?” Another person wondered, “Should I be concerned if a law school can’t spell constitution?”

Someone at Penn Law, the seventh best law school in the country per U.S. News (and fourth best per ATL), quickly resolved the problem by dragging a finger through the cake’s icing to turn the gibberish of “Constilution” into the word “Constitution.” Take a look:

Fortunately, whoever is in charge of the Penn Law Twitter account was quick-witted enough to note that “the Constitution Cake is [a] living document.” Touché!
