POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Thursday 10/6, I collected the Jones case briefs, and also distributed my own version of the brief. We went through the Jones case brief, including the dissent. Along the way, we went over the concept of summary judgment. We then turned to the Maine statute about Use of Force in Defense of Premises. We went through the definitions, and the use of non-deadly force. We'll return to deadly force next Thursday, We also went over proper Maine statutory citation form.
We also discussed the upcoming schedule. There is no class on Tuesday 10/11 (Fall break). On Thursday 10/13 I plan to hand back the Jones case briefs. Also on that day, I plan to give a few practice questions for our upcoming exam, which I plan for Tuesday 10/18. The best way to prepare for the exam is to review the blog posts, which cover all the handouts and concepts in addition to the cases that we've covered.
The assignment for Thursday 10/13 is to review the Maine statute (again) and to read in the text through the end of Chapter 1 (including Suggs v. Norris).
