Description
This seminar course will examine the approaches of different legal systems to protection of rights guaranteed by the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, including freedom of religion, assembly, speech, and press. A research paper on a topic chosen by students and approved by the professor will serve as the basis for 80% of the grade; the remaining 20% of the grade will be based on class participation. (To avoid undue overlap with Comparative Media Law, less emphasis will be placed on freedom of the press than on other freedoms protected by the 1st Amendment.) NOTE: This is a two credit course that will meet for two hours TWICE a week until March 8. There will be no classes after March 8. Papers are not due until the end of April.
