Just steps away from one of the most beautiful law schools in the country, Constitutional Law at Michigan puts students at the center of the debates shaping the country today. Students learn how the Constitution divides power, how cases reach the Supreme Court and how justices decide them. Through landmark cases and the ones making the headlines today, they explore rights such as, free speech, privacy, equal protection and the rights of the accused. Students play scenario games, run a separation-of-powers simulation, role-play real world encounters and draft their own constitutional amendment. Along the way, they will visit a court house and hear from attorneys who argue constitutional cases. The course ends with a mock Supreme Court argument where students argue both sides of a case before a panel of “justices”.
