Room: Plaza B

Floor: Lobby Level

This discussion will bring together leading national experts on state constitutional law, who will offer their views on why teaching state constitutional law courses is critical to the mission of legal education, how it can be taught, and who can or should teach it. Discussants will describe options for teaching such a class, and will offer resources for those interested in teaching a new course or improving or updating an existing one. The audience will be encouraged to both ask questions of the discussants and to share their own observations, success stories, and institutional obstacles to teaching state constitutional law.
