Textualism/Originalism Seminar

This seminar will undertake a thorough exploration of the interpretative methods known as textualism and originalism. We will cover the differences between the two methods (if any), the merits and demerits of the methods, and the various internal debates over how best to practice the methods. Students will be expected to write weekly response papers in lieu of a research paper. Enrollment limited. [3]
