The Supreme Court's Greatest Hits: Volume I
The Supreme Court's Greatest Hits: Volume I is the first of a two-part course. This course examines key Supreme Court cases from the early days of the Republic until this century. The earliest decisions establish the limits of federal and state powers. We will then discuss cases on slavery, segregation, criminal justice, same-sex relationships, freedom of the press and criminal law issues. Copies of the day’s PowerPoint presentation will be sent out after each session. Participants will also learn how to follow current Supreme Court cases online but this is entirely optional.
