Register Now for Spring Constitutional Law Online Time is running out for students to register for the spring semester of Constitutional Law Online, taught by Michael Farris, Chairman of Home School Legal Defense Association and Chancellor of Patrick Henry College. Registration ends the first day of class, January 5, 2009. The course concludes June 1, 2009. If you've always wanted to learn more about the history and background of our legal system, from a biblical perspective, or if you're looking for a good U.S. government class for your homeschooled students, then this class is for you! This internet-based course follows Michael Farris' textbook, "Constitutional Law for Enlightened Citizens," and uses a computer-based audio CD-ROM to deliver the "classroom" lectures. Live chat-room discussions held every two weeks allow students to pose questions to Dr. Farris.
