LAWS C81 - PA State Const. Law

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

LAWS - Law School

Description:

This course examines the history, structure and law of the Pennsylvania Constitution. It is expected that such in depth study of one State's consitution will also teach the techniques that will enable the student to master the Consitution of any other State as needed. The course includes subjects common to federal constitutional law, such as separation of powers, due process, equal protection and other rights, as well as subjects unique to Pennsylvania, such as the constitutional right to environmental quality. The course is not only critical to legal practice directly, because state consitutional law is assuming a greater emphasis in almost every State, but also serves as a helpful review of the concepts of federal constitutional law. Co-Requisite: Constitutional Law (student must have completed one semester of Constitutional Law.)
