This course has two principal
goals. One is for students to learn the substantive
law of the First Amendment – the Establishment
and Free Exercise of Religion Clauses, and the Freedom
of Speech, Press, Assembly, and Petition Clauses. The
other is to enhance students’ ability to create
and critically analyze constitutional arguments, both
orally and in writing. Students will learn how
to use various tools, including those based on constitutional
text, history, stare decisis, and policy. |
