Students will read, dissect, analyze, discuss, and resolve three constitutional law cases pending before the United States Supreme Court. Students will examine the lower court decisions, appellate briefs, and oral arguments for each case. After working through each stage of the appellate proceedings, students will act as mock Supreme Court Justices, engage in a "conference" discussion debating the relevant issues and possible resolutions of the cases, and ultimately issue individual judicial opinions resolving the pending cases.
