Do you want to not only interpret Supreme Court cases but also build a foundation for evaluating future judicial decisions? Learn constitutional law with Michael Farris!

Dr. Farris is offering his high school-level Constitutional Law course to help you:

• Understand our nation’s founding documents
• Explore precedent-setting Supreme Court cases
• Master tough legal terms and complex judicial and legislative concepts
• Tackle tough questions about what the Founders really intended and what you can do to uphold their vision
• Broaden your understanding of and appreciation for the Constitution of the United States

Students may enroll in either the Spring semester (January—June) Summer semester (May-August) or Fall semester (September—February) and receive a copy of Dr. Farris’ textbook Constitutional Law for Enlightened Citizens, along with the 25-part Constitutional Literacy DVD series in which Dr. Farris walks through the constitutional history and legal theory that are essential to American self-government.

Students participate in secure Internet chat sessions hosted by Dr. Farris every other week for “live,” text-based discussion. They may also post questions to Dr. Farris at any time using our secure Internet forum, which allows all students to see and learn from Dr. Farris’ answers.

Dr. Farris, a former bar examiner, presents both a mid-term and final bar-style exam question for students to research and answer. The exams are intended to test the student’s ability to apply the course material to a fictitious legal scenario. Answers are written in essay format and sent to Dr. Farris to be reviewed, critiqued, and graded. Students who successfully complete the course receive a certificate of completion.

Tuition is $300 for HSLDA members and $325 for non-HSLDA members and is due in full upon registration. Late enrollments may be accepted on a case-by-case basis.
