LAW 3840 - First Amendment: Speech, Association and the Religion Clauses


This is a course on the structure and development of the First Amendment freedoms of speech, expression, association and the clauses with respect to religious freedom for students who are interested in going beyond the treatment of these subjects in our regular Constitutional Law survey course (Constitutional Law II).

In addition, the course aims to provide the student with an opportunity to deepen and supplement case reading and constitutional argument skills, to place decisions in social and historical context, and to study the attorney’s professional role in current debates about the personal and political issues to which First Amendment jurisprudence is relevant.

This is still a survey course with respect to First Amendment topics; it does not pretend to cover all available material on these subjects. The course is conducted with emphasis on class participation, and students may be asked to read material outside the casebook. Prior enrollment in Constitutional Law I and II is preferred.

Credits: 3
