USF St. Petersburg - University of Tetova - Comparative Legal Research Assignment -- SCOTUS and ECtHR

During the Spring 2020 semester, students in my US Constitutional Law 2 (Civil Liberties and Civil Rights) course at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg and Prof. Jusuf Zejneli's Constitutional Law course at the University of Tetova worked together in research groups, comparing decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States and the European Court of Human Rights on similar legal questions.

I have another blog --Comparative Legal Research: ECJ, ECtHR, and the SCOTUS-- where you can find more about the students' research projects, their partnership, and our global classroom.

See https://comparativelegalresearch.blogspot.com/

The Comparative Legal Research blog includes posts about the USFSP - SEEU (Skopje)  cooperation in 2018 as well as the USFSP - SNSPA (Bucharest) cooperation in 2015.  I wish to thank the Miami European Union Center for Excellence (MEUCE) for the faculty curriculum development grant that supported the development of this project.

Profs Zejneli and McLauchlan have drafted a law review article about this research project, expected to be published in September.

For now, here are links to a few of the posts about the USFSP - UT collaboration during the Spring 2020 semester.
