    Description
    The seminar will provide an opportunity for in-depth discussion of competing theories of legal interpretation and analysis of the legislative and judicial processes. Each seminar will examine current "hot topics" in more depth. For example, voting rights, partisan gerrymandering, campaign finance, immigration, data privacy, custody and conservatorships, drug policy, and juvenile justice reform may be studied. You will research a developing legal issue and complete a written research paper highlighting the major issues involved, your analysis, and your recommendations.
