REQUIRED TEXT CHARLES W. RHODES & RENEE KNAKE JEFFERSON, CONSTITUTIONAL LAW: FOUNDATIONS, INTERPRETATIONS, & COMMENTARIES (West Academic 2025), ISBN 979-8-88786-822-6.

Read all of these documents carefully and take notes in preparation for our introductory class discussion. Cold-calling will happen this first day (as it will every class day), so please be prepared. Please note that I do not permit the use of laptops in class, but if you have a full-sized tablet that lies flat, and you plan to take notes on it using a stylus, rather than typing, you may use that in my class.
