Description
This course will examine how the U. S. Supreme Court sets its agenda. It will also examine agenda setting in other legal institutions , e.g, the office of the US. Solicitor General, State Solicitors General, and perhaps private legal practices. Students will be expected to come to class well prepared to discuss readings including weekly 1-2 page papers reflecting on the readings. Students will write a modest research paper on a topic of their choice related to agenda setting that is approved by the professor.
