First Amendment is a topical seminar in First Amendment law (speech and religion). Students are expected to have a basic understand of First Amendment doctrine and analysis. Using that knowledge as a foundation, the seminar will focus on theory and application of First Amendment principles on particular issues (e.g.: hate speech). Class evaluation will be based on a book/article review (3-5 pages), a final paper (25 +/- pages), a class presentation of the draft paper during the final week of the semester, an oral and written critique of a classmate's paper (2-3 pages), and class participation.
