This is a 4-unit introductory course on Constitutional Law. Although it is primarily a substantive class ��� it will cover judicial review, separation of powers, federalism (the relative powers of the state and national government), equal protection (discrimination based on various categories), and fundamental rights protected through the Constitution ��� the course will also focus on skill building.
