Course Description:
This is a course about law and constitutionalism within and beyond the United States. By examining key constitutional moments, students will explore how legal meaning changes over time and learn about the global influence of the U.S. Constitution. One of the insights that the course seeks to convey is the extent to which legal ideas have crossed and re-crossed borders with an approach that is both comparative and dynamic.
This class may be postponed to a later semester if fewer than 6 students enroll.
