Constitutional law is the foundation of our free society.
It defines the powers and limits of government and government officials, from the President in the Oval Office to the police officer on the beat. A concentration in this important field will set you up for a successful career in constitutional law, politics, civil rights, and more.
Courses
First-year courses provide a survey on the basic structure of our constitutional systems and individual rights. Upper-level courses offer a deep dive into key areas of constitutional law and opportunities to engage in simulated constitutional litigation.
Gain invaluable hands-on experience through moot court competitions, externships with government agencies and civil rights organizations, and volunteer work with faculty engaged in pro bono litigation.
