Spring Semester Class:
Major Legal Controversies: Past, Present, and Future
The law develops over time with past decisions serving as precedent to influence the outcome of current controversies. This course will examine current legal controversies as well as ones we can anticipate will confront the courts in the future. An important focus of this examination will be on how the outcome of these cases is likely to be shaped by Supreme Court precedent which the current Supreme Court will either adhere to, distinguish, or overrule.
