WELCOME to my new Constitutional Law class LL.M. and J.D. students at Northeastern University School of Law.

I will post information here throughout the term.   And, given the time constraints of class, I will also post more expansive answers to any classroom questions that I think may be beneficial to you all.

Any specific questions you have may be emailed to me directly at : d.magee@neu.edu and dmmesq19@aol.com.   Please send questions or comments to both emails.

You may also follow me on Twitter, @AttyDMM.  But, that is not a class requirement.
