Constitutional Law Flashcards

What is Constitutional Law?

Constitutional Law relates to the interpretation, application and amendment of the US constitution. Many constitutional legal issues involve the Bill of Rights. This does, of course, make up the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution which include the right to a fair trial and freedom of speech.

Constitutional Law also involves the rights and powers of the branches of government; each branch of government has distinct powers and responsibilities and Constitutional lawyers help resolve any disputes. They also help their clients bring Constitutional Law claims to court.

Law students who love politics and want to make a difference in society should consider this branch of Law. To find out more about Constitutional Law then check out The American Constitution Society and The Center for Constitutional Rights.
