The course will include problems and writing assignments to help students learn new areas (ones we were unable to cover in Constitutional Law I) and explore familiar areas in greater depth. Topics that may be covered will include the creation of the media in the Founding Era, a couple of historical controversies as a lens to understand free expression issues, is there a First Amendment freedom of expression right to receive, in the privacy of one's home, sexually oriented materials that meet the obscenity test (e.g., over the computer, cable, etc.), first amendment rights of government employees, free expression and secrecy orders in civil cases, political gerrymanders and the First Amendment, the tension between freedom of expression and other interests in student free speech rights in public schools, and more.
