Welcome to the First Amendment course, a course that examines the First Amendment in quite a bit of depth.
For our first two classes of First Amendment, please read the assignment noted below (Casebook: Varat, Amar & Caminker Constitutional Law (16th Edition)(Foundation Press 2021). This is the same book I assigned for all my Con Law courses):
-- Skim (just skim) this: Duncan article, Just Another Brick in the Wall: The Establishment Clause as a Heckler's Veto, available here (free download) : Dreisbach article; Casebook p. 1763-1779
-- Engel v. Vitale (Link).;Allegheny County case (link); Kennedy case (link); Our class discussion will focus primarily on: the American Legion case p. 1801-1812 and on the Kennedy case
You should also watch the first four First Amendment videos:
Students have told me that they find this recorded sessions very helpful. We will discuss these issues in class on Monday and Tuesday.
