Description
This class has two primary purposes. It will be a course in U.S. Constitutional law that focuses primarily on the allocation of powers with limited attention to the protection of individual liberties. The second purpose of the course is to have foreign lawyers experience how most U.S. students experience the study of constitutional law. For example, there are very few lectures. I teach primarily using the Socratic method. That means that students must come to class well prepared and will be called upon and engage with me and their classmates.
