This seminar will cover selected election law topics (chosen based on student and faculty member interest) to explore in greater depth than is possible in the Course on Election Law. While the Course on Election Law is not a pre-requisite and all students are welcome to enroll in the seminar even if they have not taken the course, some previous experience with the material may give students a helpful foundational for selecting a specific topic in election law that they will research and write about for the seminar. Working individually or in teams, students enrolled in the seminar will study, discuss, research, write about and present their conclusions about topics, such as felon-disenfranchisement, campaign finance reform, the promise of cumulative and proportional representation electoral systems, and proposal for reforming the Electoral College, the reapportionment and redistricting processes, and the initiative and referendum processes. Actual topic selection will be shaped by student interest surveyed in advance. The class may be taken for 2 or 3 credits and requires preparation of a paper. The class may be taken in satisfaction of the law school’s writing requirement with the approval of the professor in advance.
