This seminar will explore the emerging field of comparative constitutional law. The aim of this seminar is to provide students with an understanding of the myriad approaches to constitutional law and constitutionalism taken by various nations of the world. The goal is not only to provide students with substantive knowledge that might prove useful in today’s increasingly global legal profession, but also to deepen the students’ understanding of U.S. constitutional law by demonstrating that aspects of our constitutional system with which students are most familiar are not necessarily inevitable. The beginning of the course will introduce the topic of comparative constitutional law and its value in legal scholarship, constitution-making and domestic constitutional interpretation. The balance of the course will consist of student presentations on particular topics in comparative constitutional law such as comparative approaches to constitutional change, judicial review, separation of powers, federalism, freedom of speech and press, religious liberty, criminal procedure, and any other aspect of constitutional law or constitutionalism that sparks student interest.
