Regulation of the Political Process
Description
This course considers regulation of political process. It begins with an overview of the restrictions on the franchise. We then turn to constitutional and statutory constraints on apportionment under the equal protection clause (one person, one vote and political gerrymandering in particular) and the Voting Rights Act, before looking at judicial remedies for elections gone bad. If time permits, we may also consider regulation of political parties and the use of direct democracy.
This course is open to all Law School students.
