Claremont Institute Center for Constitutional JurisprudenceThe Claremont Institute Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence provides students with an opportunity to earn independent study credit, conducting research, drafting discovery requests, preparing draft summary judgment motions and appellate briefs, attending hearings, and even preparing briefs for filing with the Supreme Court of the United States. Since its founding, the Center has participated in more than three dozen cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, including such landmark cases as Boy Scouts v. Dale, Zelman v. Simmons-Harris (the Ohio school vouchers case), Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow (the Pledge of Allegiance case), Kelo v. New London, Connecticut (the property takings case), and Hamdi v. Rumsfeld (terrorism case), urging the Court to restore the constitutional principles adopted by our nation's Founders. The Director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence is Dean and Donald P. Kennedy Chair in Law, John Eastman, former law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Dr. Eastman works with a prestigious Board of Advisors, chaired by former Attorney General Edwin Meese III, to develop the Center's litigation strategy. |
