Second Amendment

The Second Amendment remains one of the most actively litigated areas of constitutional law.

These courses and briefs cover the full spectrum of Second Amendment law — from the constitutional text and its historical context to modern policy debates over red flag laws, assault weapons bans, concealed carry, and the intersection of gun rights with domestic violence protections.
