Unit on Second Amendment?

[Alan Tauber]

I would be remiss to point out that the unit referred to below also included Sandy Levinson's Yale LJ article "The Embarassing Second Amendment" and was taught by the list's own Chip Lupu.

I apologize to Chip for the oversight in not giving credit where it is due, and for misremembering the complete content of the unit itself.

>When I was in law school, we did a unit on the Second Amendment.  We read U.S. v. Miller, the Supreme Court's last case on the Second Amendment, back in 1923.  We also read Emerson, the 5th Circuit case that first recognized the Amendment protected a personal right.

>Obviously, I'd add the case pending before the Supreme Court - the lower court opinion, since I'm assuming the Court is going to wait to drop the opinion until the last day of the term.

>Hi, all.
> 
>I have one two-hour class to fill at the end of the semester, and I've been considering my options.  One option is a unit on the 2nd Amendment.  The casebook I'm using doesn't cover it at all.  Has anyone spent either one or two hours on it, and if so, could you share what you had the students read (private responses welcome).
