The U.S. Supreme Court: Equal Protection and the Supreme Court
Leora Harpaz

Course Description: This course will examine the way the Supreme Court has interpreted the core constitutional concept of equality of treatment protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. It will explore the varying ways the Court treats discrimination based on race, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, wealth, residency, and other characteristics used by the government to impose differences in treatment. While the course will focus on equal protection, when there are important developments in other areas of the law that reach the U.S. Supreme Court, time will be allocated to the discussion of those recent developments.

This form will be available throughout the semester for you to make suggestions about legal issues you'd like to know more about. You can submit it as often as you like. Please list any topic of current legal interest you would like discussed in the Equal Protection and the Supreme Court class:
