The current Term of the U.S. Supreme Court’ almost surely will be consequential. Not only is there a new Justice, Amy Coney Barrett, but the Court’s docket already contains major issues that range from relatively well-known disputes about the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act and the reach of the Free Exercise Clause to additional important questions about separation of powers (e.g., Executive authority to transfer funds to build a border wall); federalism; and varied individual rights (e.g., juvenile rights, freedom of association, immigration). Students will choose issues that are of most interest to them. The course will include short writing assignments and it may also feature some limited role- playing.
