Spring Constitutional Law Online


Students are now able to register for the spring semester of Constitutional Law Online, taught by Michael Farris, Chairman of Home School Legal Defense Association and Chancellor of Patrick Henry College. Registration ends the first day of class, January 4, 2010. The course concludes June 7, 2010.

If you’ve always wanted to learn more about the history and background of our legal system, from a biblical perspective, or if you’re looking for a good U.S. government class for your homeschooled students, then this class is for you! This internet-based course follows Michael Farris’ textbook, Constitutional Law for Enlightened Citizens, and uses a computer-based audio CD to deliver the “classroom” lectures. Live chat-room discussions held every two weeks allow students to pose questions to Dr. Farris.

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) or fall semester (September—February) and receive a copy of Dr. Farris’ textbook Constitutional Law for Enlightened Citizens, along with an audio CD-ROM containing his recorded lectures (supplemented by the discussions of a live class). These lectures are provided in MP3 format for easy playback on multiple audio devices.
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 $250 for HSLDA members and $275 for non-HSLDA members and is due in full upon registration. Late enrollments may be accepted on a case-by-case basis.
