LAW 6096 - Supreme Court Seminar

Explores constitutional law and appellate advocacy. Students will act both as appellate advocates, arguing cases currently pending in the Supreme Court, and as Supreme Court justices, adjudicating those cases. In their roles as Supreme Court justices, students conduct case conferences and draft bench memoranda and judicial opinions. The course is designed both to develop skills and to examine in depth current issues in constitutional law, Supreme Court decision-making in constitutional and other types of litigation, and the Supreme Court as an institution in the legal system and society.
