Constitutional Law

The Constitution is a document constantly analyzed for its impact and meaning, and how the principles within apply to modern legal issues. Litigation happens on a regular basis in the circuit courts and the Supreme Court that impacts the way the Constitution is interpreted, and the National Law Review has legal analysis on these cases and interpretations, as well as predictions on how these cases might land.

The First Amendment Right to Free Speech, the Right to Protection Against Unreasonable Search and Seizure under the Fourth Amendment, Due process violations under the Fourteenth Amendment, and the Government’s Power of Eminent Domain, afforded under the Fifth Amendment, are among the leading stories and news visitors will read about on the National Law Review. How these provisions might apply to modern scenarios not envisioned by the Founding Fathers is analyzed by the legal experts who write for the National Law Review.

The Establishment Clause and Dormant Commerce Clause under the Fifth and First Amendments, and Anti-discrimination laws under the First Amendment are some of the topics covered by the National Law Review. Visitors can read about Constitutional issues in litigation, including Article III, which affords a party to bring forth a case at the federal or state level. The constitutionality of administrative proceedings against Administrative agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and agencies that govern immigration like the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), are among the different types of commentary and stories visitors will read about on the site.

The National Law Review covers topics related to all Amendments under the Constitution, citizens' and civil rights, agency rights, and the different clauses which are set forth under those amendments. For visitors who want to learn about the latest challenges to the Constitution or Amendments, Supreme Court Decisions, and cases that set forth new precedent, based on the Constitution and Constitutional rights, can find these stories on the National Law Review.
