Course Description:

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizen’s United, there has been increased focus on the constitutional status of corporations as persons. In this seminar, we will focus not just on First Amendment rights, but on their status as constitutional persons, theory of corporate personhood, and on other constitutional rights that corporations do and do not, or may or may not possess. We will focus in particular on criminal procedure rights of corporations, because in that area there is longstanding, complex, and fascinatingly mixed caselaw on when and how corporations have constitutional rights.
