The U.S.
Supreme Court has ruled that public school students do not lose their
constitutional rights to freedom of expression at school. However, the high
court has also made clear that the rights of students and minors in general
are not the same as that of adults.
The jurisprudence regarding public school students' First Amendment
rights has developed in the past thirty years into a rich body of law. This
course examines the leading U.S.
Supreme Court cases involving student free-expression. The course also
presents questions from real-life appellate cases, seeking to test your
application of the basic principles and tests from the U.S. Supreme Court.
