Title Constitutional Design Lecturers: Zoltán Pozsár-Szentmiklósy (associate professor, ELTE Law School) Prof. David Williams (Indiana University, Maurer School of Law) Brief description This course will consist of two elements: in-class instruction and discussion based on the Readers as well as out-of-class constitution writing in team-work.  On the first class, the participants will be split into teams. Each team will study a particular country and work on designing a constitution for it.  As we cover each subject in-class, the teams will be applying that material to their particular countries out-of-class. Each team will submit multiple papers as parts of their constitution-writing project, and each person on each team will be the principal author of at least one paper. The lecturers support this process with in-class and out-class consultations. At the end of the semester, each team will merge the individual papers into one long White Paper, proposing a constitution for their country and explaining the reasons for their recommendations.
