Constitutional Law
While Constitutional Law originated during colonial times, it is just as relevant today as it was back in 1787 when the document was written. In today’s modern world of ubiquitous electronic communication, constitutional law is a much debated and litigated realm of law. The law frequently can’t keep pace with technology, and new laws, both federal and state, are being consistently legislated and challenged in U.S courtrooms. The First Amendment and privacy concerns are a particular hotbed of debate.
