EIGHT LANDMARK CASES OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT (IN-PERSON)

Since 1803, the United States Supreme Court has heard thousands of cases. This course will spotlight one landmark case each week from one of the following topics: religious beliefs regarding conscientious objector status; abortion rights; immigration and racial discrimination; free speech; the mandate for universal health care; right to die issues; freedom of the press; the right to a fair trial; and technology and cell phone privacy rights. We will review precedent cases on topic, facts of the case at hand, and these landmark opinions that establish the laws of our country.

This course is offered with the generous support of the Association for Continuing Education.
