Summary:
"This course is designed to introduce students to a uniquely American invention and, to some ways of thinking, a wonderfully naïve contribution to politics: the written specification of individual liberties and rights that citizens possess and can, through courts, enforce against the state. Civil Liberties is not, however, a course on law. It is, instead, a course that has as its subject the relationship of law to the most fundamental sorts of questions about politics, morality, and human nature."--Course guidebook (p. 1).
