LAW 638 - Advanced Constitutional Law

Unit(s): 3

This course builds upon the required Constitutional Law course, offering a more in-depth analysis of Individual Rights. We will compare broadly across various constitutional doctrines that protect both equality and liberty. For the purpose of gaining a more holistic perspective of constitutional adjudication, we will focus on a close reading of select cases in their entire, unedited, original versions. Also, we will emphasize historical lessons about the relationship between social change and constitutional interpretation, and also highlight contemporary constitutional controversies. Your thorough preparation and lively participation will be necessary to enrich our experience together.
