Course Offerings

A variety of the Law School’s centers and workshops, lecture series, and special events deal specifically with constitutional law issues.

Special events like the Global Constitutionalism Seminar offer an opportunity for students to sit in on discussions with some of the world’s foremost jurists from around the world.

Student organizations like chapters of the American Constitution Society and the Federalist Society often provide spirited debate during public events held at the Law School.

Students can also experience the Constitution in action through work at law firms, volunteer opportunities, and working in the Law School’s clinical programs.

Yale Law School faculty members produce some of the widely cited work on constitutional theory and student-run journals publish articles by prominent scholars, practitioners, and students on the theory and practice of constitutional law.
