Course Description

In this seminar, we will explore the various mechanisms through which the public can regulate and shape the conduct of local police. We will consider the role of both federal and state constitutional law, as well as litigation more broadly in addressing police misconduct. Readings will include scholarly articles, judicial opinions, investigative reports, and proposed and enacted policies and legislation. Students are expected to participate actively in each week's discussion, to submit periodic reading reflections/questions, and to complete original research.
