Explore how civil rights are challenged—and defended—when government actions cross constitutional lines. Focusing on real legal battles, including over 400 lawsuits against the Trump administration, this course examines free speech, assembly, voting rights, and the role of civic action in a democracy. Engage in rigorous, open dialogue and develop persuasive policy arguments to advocate for change. Honors students will sharpen critical thinking, legal reasoning, and public voice in a setting that values diverse perspectives and fearless inquiry.
