A constitutional lawyer represents individuals who have had their constitutional rights infringed upon, or those who have been accused of violating the constitutional rights of another. Constitutional law deals mainly with the U.S. Constitution, usually through interpretation and implementation of United States Supreme Court decisions. Also, each individual state has its own constitution, which cannot conflict with the U.S. Constitution, including the Bill of Rights and the other amendments.
Furthermore, a constitutional law attorney is knowledgeable of the functions of each branch of the federal government and his or her state’s government. The three branches of the government, as established in the Constitution, are the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Each branch of the government works together, within a system of checks and balances, to ensure that no one branch or person possesses too much power.
