FIGHTING CHANCE

In Fighting Chance, students become first-year associates at a law firm asked to weigh in on a potential Supreme Court case. The issue? Whether the case stands on solid constitutional ground—or whether national security concerns outweigh individual rights.

Students analyze the case through the lens of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, considering equal protection, due process, landmark precedents, and the real-world workings of the judicial system. Along the way, they deepen their understanding of constitutional rights, the role of the courts, and the complexity of justice.
