This first-of-its-kind course offers the unique opportunity to hear directly from high court judges around the world on the challenges of judging in times of crisis--and also to engage in conversation with these leading jurists on this important and timely subject.

This seven-week course will be held live on Zoom starting on July 16, 2020. The precise dates and times follow below. Note that these times are subject to change. The Zoom details will be provided to all course registrants.

Directed by Richard Albert, this course will begin every session with a live presentation from one of the distinguished judges, followed by an open conversation among course registrants with the judge for that particular session. 

This course is open to all, including faculty and students in law, government, history, world affairs, and other fields. 

The enrollment cost for this course must be received by Wednesday, July 9, 2020. The cost is $26 USD. The modest proceeds from this course will be used to cover some of the costs incurred in developing this course and also to fund bursaries for elementary and secondary school students in Canada, Haiti, and the United States. 

All registrants completing this course will receive a certification to that effect from the International Forum on the Future of Constitutionalism. No academic credit will be awarded in connection with this course.

Thank you for your interest in this course directed by Richard Albert, William Stamps Farish Professor in Law and Professor of Government at the University of Texas at Austin.
