Constitutional Law

Often considered one of the most broad and involved branches of law, Constitutional law requires nothing short of a crystal-clear understanding of the U.S. Constitution in order to understand its every possible interpretation and implementation. This topic of law is designed not only to preserve the relationships between state and federal governments (as well as the internal relationships), but also to protect the rights of the individual amidst these relationships as well. The "Constitutional" part of "Constitutional law" refers to not only the Federal Constitution, but state constitutions as well. Constitutional law draws heavily from rulings made in the Supreme Court.
