Offered In: Spring 2025
Program: jd | llm

Delves into Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court's effort to dismantle the lingering effects of slavery and to align the Constitution with the promise in the Declaration of Independence that "all men are created equal." Focus is on the text of the Constitution and legal doctrine but also on the path-breaking litigation strategy developed and implemented by the NAACP to topple longstanding and pernicious precedent, including, especially, Plessy v. Ferguson, which approved government segregation of the races (the “separate but equal doctrine.”)
