Course Description:
This senior seminar will focus the Supreme Court's role in our constitutional framework and its impact on public policy. We will explore polarization on the Court and competing theories of constitutional interpretation. We also will study the way in which the death of Justice Ginsburg and the recent appointments of Justices Barrett and Jackson are likely to affect the Court's decisions in important areas of jurisprudence, including abortion, LGBTQ rights, religious freedom second amendment rights, and racial gerrymandering. |
