POS 3613 - Constitutional Controversies

Institution:

The University of West Florida

Subject:

Description:

The American Founders established a Supreme Court to resolve all cases and controversies arising under the federal Constitution and its subsequent laws and treaties. This Court would serve primarily as an appellate tribunal, a court of last resort, reviewing and remanding, reversing or upholding the rulings of lower courts in both the federal and state judiciaries. In this course we will examine those elements of the appellate process on constitutional law, including the Court's review of petitions of certiorari, of merits briefs and the corresponding amici briefs and oral argument.
