Professor Gambitta designed Civil Liberties in American Law and Practice for the Summer Law School
Preparation Academy, for students who wish to enroll in a demanding course and obtain the opportunity to
master the subject matter of civil liberties in the U.S. This is a course in constitutional law. He expects his
students to study hard, excel in performance, and conduct meaningful discussions in class. This is a course in
constitutional law where students conduct analytical, normative, and empirical inquiries into the status of certain
civil liberties, individual rights, and governmental conduct in the United States. If each person does her or his
work, we shall illuminate constitutional issues and dissect constitutional decisions with increasing power and
ease, honing our analytical powers and improving our abilities to carefully read, think, express, comment,
understand, and criticize. This course is constructed to assist persevering students in achieving a higher level of
sophistication in the discussion of legal and political issues. These hard working students will increase their
substantive knowledge about court decisions, the litigation process, modes of constitutional interpretation,
judicial philosophies, political liberties, individual rights, and governmental powers. Students should reflect
about the ‘rightness and wrongness’ of government policy, developing criteria for evaluative use. Students
should investigate what causes these policies, what impact the adopted and sustained policies have on diverse
people’s lives, and what people should attempt to do about it.
The course begins with an examination of numerous contentions about the nature of constitutions, government,
judicial opinions, and statutes. Seminar participants conduct a thorough examination of the Constitution, the Bill
of Rights and its applications by the Supreme Court. Then, we focus on the 14th Amendment and equal
protection, after a brief introduction to rights emanating from constitutional penumbra. The course gives special
attention to issues concerning freedom of expression, the establishment and free exercise of religion, due process,
and equal protection, though it discusses other rights such as the right to bear arms, privacy, etc. During the
semester, we will discuss the development of special rights and protections, the many modes of discrimination
against women and minority groups, “affirmative action” or “reverse discrimination,” and the liberties with
which government should not interfere, etc. The professor will present civil liberties materials and arguments
from the conservative, moderate and liberal perspectives, from judicial restraint and activist positions. This
argumentation from different perspectives aims to agitate your craniums and to help you think about alternative
arguments to your own assessments.
Attendance is mandatory—that means, each class. Students must be prepared to present and analyze caselaw in
each class. Lack of preparation is unacceptable. Students must be prepared sufficiently to present cases (facts,
issues, holdings, rationales, etc.) and other reading assignments, to engage in informed discussions, and to answer
questions asked by the professor, guest lecturers, or fellow students. The quality of your contributions through
participation to our seminar's enrichment and enlightenment will determine ten percent of your grade. The
professor will evaluate short, on point written material that you submit that is not assigned, if you wish to turn it
in, in addition to written assignments, if you shy away from talking in class. The professor will assign a midterm
class participation grade for each student. This class loads much of the grand toward the final exam, which is part
of the pedagogy and mission associated with this course. In many law school classes, you will have only one
1
exam.
Students should stay at least four cases with asterisks on the syllabus ahead of the professor and be prepared to
speak on them. Students are to conduct themselves professionally at all times. The successful teaching of this
class begs extensive classroom interaction. Students are to treat colleagues respectfully when criticizing others’
viewpoints. Finally, students must adhere to the highest standards of honor in all matters related to scholarship.
The professor condemns and prohibits any form of plagiarism, cheating, or other unfair, unethical conduct and
will prosecute occurrences according to UTSA rules:
“Scholastic dishonesty” includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, collusion, falsifying academic
records, and any act designed to give unfair advantage to the student (such as, but not limited to,
submission of essentially the same written assignment for two courses without the prior permission of the
instructor, providing false or misleading information in an effort to receive a postponement or an
extension on a test, quiz, or other assignment), or the attempt to commit such an act.” UTSA Information
Bulletin, p 128, Sec. 203.

The professor reserves the right to deviate from schedule and cases on the syllabus based on class action, speed in
grasping the material, and questions. Times scheduled for the discussion of cases are flexible. Not all cases shall
be discussed. All cases listed on syllabus with a single or double * should be given special attention by the
students. Multiple citations are given for the cases. Students will find facts, abridgements, and analyses of the
cases in the Ducat casebook. Our syllabus lists the text’s page numbers where the case appears placed on the right
hand column on the syllabus following the case style. Two numbers are usually listed, the first page number
appears in black and refers to the 8th edition, the second number in red refers to the 9th or latest edition. All cases
have citations to the U.S. Reports or similar sources (e.g. S.Ct. Reporter) and most have citations to
findlaw.com or www.oyez.org/oyez/frontpage, or both. If you are reading this syllabus from a downloaded
disk, you can move directly to those sites by clicking the hyperlink, while you are connected to the Internet. This
enables students to access the full opinions, summaries, abstracts, and oral arguments of the cases. The official
citation is given for each case to allow students to retrieve unabridged versions from the official hard-copy
sources, in addition to findlaw.com. Many Supreme Court Reporters and U.S. Reports are housed in our JPL
Library’s reference room. Note that findlaw.com and http://www.oyez.org/oyez/frontpage are interactive from
oyez. More on the Internet, as we progress into the course. The professor will make numerous assignments from
the many websites as the course progresses. The professor will bring oral arguments from the Supreme Court to
class and assign "thinking projects." The professor will assign cases to teams of students as well as to individuals
to present to the class. Cases from the 2007-08 & 2008-09 terms are added throughout the course, though some
appear here. The professor will use those cases to assess whether students understand the precedents and the
applications by the current Court.
