Supreme Court Seminar

LAW 774 | 2-3 Hours

This seminar will draw on recent and pending cases in the United States Supreme Court to allow students to explore Supreme Court practice and decision-making, effective appellate briefing and opinion-writing, and the current members of the Court. Students will each adopt the role of one of the nine justices. As that justice, they will read the briefing and lower court opinions, discuss the case with their “Brethren,” cast votes, and write one majority and one concurring or dissenting opinion.
