LAW 2809 - Comparative Constitutional Law

This course undertakes a comparative examination of constitutional problems under differing legal systems. The legal regimes studied are selected from among the following: the United States, France, Great Britain, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Germany, the Scandinavian countries, and the regime established by various international treaties that address human rights issues. The problems examined involve such issues as hate speech, religious expression, privacy protection, entitlement to government benefits and separation of powers problems. The course proceeds by examining how varying legal systems would treat the same set of facts, and attempts to address the origins and consequences of the differences.
