State Constitutional Law

Catalog description

State constitutions provide a fertile source of rights and limitations on government power, especially in the post-Dobbs era. The goal of the State Constitutional Law Seminar is to familiarize students with how different state courts across the country approach the interpretation of their fundamental law. The course is designed to teach students how to effectively advocate for their clients using this important source of law, which is independent of rights and limitations imposed by the United States Constitution.
