| Course Description |
This course builds upon core constitutional law concepts and doctrines. It is anticipated that there will be two main components to the course in 2008. First, the course will focus on Chapter III of the Constitution, including consideration of federal jurisdiction and its exercise by federal courts (particularly the High Court) and state courts. Secondly, the course will give close attention to express and implied "constitutional rights" and critically assess whether their "rights" status is compatible with constitutional history and context and judicial interpretation. |
