Constitutional Law - Harvard Law School

As the United States’ founding document and basic law, the U.S. Constitution defines the structure of government and articulates the rights and liberties of the people. Harvard Law students have the opportunity to learn and study constitutional law with leading experts who have shaped our understanding of the Constitution’s history, meaning, and interpretation.
