Course Materials: Webinar recording and a PDF of the PowerPoint slides.

Description: During this global pandemic we have seen unprecedented alterations to our First Amendment rights involving the practice of religion, free speech, and assembly, to name a few. Some governments have altogether shut down traditional and designated public forums. Some have taken steps to halt in-person assemblies of individuals to worship.  

• Understand the development of our First Amendment rights, including freedom of speech, petition, assembly, and religion; 
• Appreciate the complexities of the global pandemic affecting these constitutionally-protected freedoms; 
• Recognize that the First Amendment law changes and it is challenged by new realities, global issues, and emerging technologies;  
• Apply constitutional, case, and statutory law to First Amendment-related situations; and 
• Establish a foundation for debate to assist others in appreciating these Constitutional rights in this new age.
