two seminars per week and both require preparation. the format is discussion-based rather than lecture-based so attendance and engagement matter in a way they do not in undergrad subjects
took it Sem 2, 2024
constitutional and administrative law concepts stack quickly and the assessments test whether you can apply them to novel fact patterns, not just recite the doctrine. start working through problem questions from week 2

often taken alongside torts in first semester jd which makes for a heavy workload. the public law reasoning is quite different from private law — give yourself time to adjust to the constitutional thinking style
