LAW 312 - Advanced Constitutional Law Survey

Credits: 3

This course will study issues in Constitutional law that are typically not included or studied in depth in the 1L Constitutional Law Class. Topics covered likely include but are not limited to: Executive power, Constitutional tension with the Administrative State, the Second Amendment, the right to vote, the Dormant Commerce Clause, the Political Question doctrine, First Amendment Speech / Press, School segregation, Procedural Due Process, and the First Amendment Religion Clauses. The goal of this course is to offer 2L and 3L students the chance to study a variety of constitutional doctrines at a deeper level of depth than in the 1L required course but less than what they will learn on a course that focuses entirely on one provision or another. To enroll in this course, students must have completed the 1L Constitutional Law course, but this class is not a prerequisite for or substitute for any other upper-level elective course.
