Overview and Objectives of PSCI 4220 – Civil Liberties/Rights
This
course focuses on the development of constitutional interpretation
of certain types of civil liberties by the U.S. Supreme Court from
both a legal and nonlegal perspective. We will utilize a case
book approach commonly used in a constitutional law/civil liberties
class in law school, although we will make use of additional readings
as well. In addition to learning about civil liberties in general
and whether or not the judiciary protects them, this approach is
designed to expose students to judicial cases so they can understand
the legal analyses employed within particular contexts by the Supreme
Court.
