Here are the assignments for the first
week of classes from August 17-23 (to be taught remotely and
asynchronously):
1. Casebook p. 1-37 (skim p. 1-24 as background reading).
2. Casebook p. 37-42
The casebook is: Varat & Amar, Constitutional Law (15th Edition)(Foundation Press 2017)
I will also post links to video recordings of my teaching these initial assignments. Once we get into the regular part of the Fall
semester (Zoom discussion/Q&A sessions starting the second week
of class), we can talk about what we learned during this first week.
I will be posting a full syllabus soon, but it still needs quite a bit more work.
The web log for Prof. Duncan's Constitutional Law Classes at Nebraska Law-- "[U]nder our Constitution there can be no such thing as either a creditor or a debtor race. That concept is alien to the Constitution's focus upon the individual. In the eyes of government, we are just one race here. It is American. " -----Justice Antonin Scalia If you allow the government to take your liberty during times of crisis, it will create a crisis whenever it wishes to take your liberty.
