This course provides a survey of the Uniform Commercial Code and is designed for those students who either do not want to take and individual commercial law courses (Payment Systems and Secured Transactions), or have not decided whether to take these courses. Commercial Law is clearly the most significant substantive subject appearing on the Illinois Bar Examination, appearing on all four parts of the exam (the Multistate Bar Examination, the Multistate Essay Examination, the Illinois Essay Examination, and the Multistate Performance Examination). In light of the above, it is advisable that students planning to take the Illinois Bar Examination should have some exposure to the Code. This course is not a prerequisite for any other commercial law course. If you take this course, you will be able to subsequently (or concurrently) take Payment Systems and/or Secured Transactions. If you have already taken Commercial Law: Sales (recently discontinued as a separate course), or have taken both Payment Systems and Secured Transactions, you may not take this course. 4. 000 Credit Hours 4. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Business, Master of Laws, Law Schedule Types: Lecture Chicago- Kent College of Law College Law Department

This course will begin with readings from three different constitutional systems on the question of abortion and will focus on the possibility of sharing, borrowing or simply discussing foreign constitutional law. The relationships between different constitutional systems and the limitations of comparison and comparative law will then be discussed more generally and systematically. The next section will look at the role and structure of constitutional courts, in particular positive and negative claims about judicial review. From there the course will address separation of powers and federalism issues focusing on whether constitutional structures are or can be the result of political or constitutional theory or are more closely tied with pragmatic and historical factors. Finally, the course will return to individual and group rights focusing on the question what substantive norms are necessary for a constitutional system and can such questions be answered across different constitutional cultures. Prerequisites: Constitutional Law (please see Professor Harding if you wish to take this course and are taking Constitutional Law at the same time.) The course may be taken either as a course or a seminar. If taken as a seminar, an additional small project is required in addition to the normal seminar paper. 2. 000 Credit Hours 2. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Business, Master of Laws, Law Schedule Types: Lecture Chicago- Kent College of Law College Law Department
