POS 282

In class today, Thursday 9/6, we finished our discussion of the Maine perjury and false swearing statutes, and I presented one Maine case regarding false swearing, State v. Anthoine. We then started our discussion of the Jurisprudential ideas of the text, and I also presented the recent U.S. Supreme Court case of Gonzales v. Carhart. I also distributed one handout, my version of the holdings of AAC v. Dearborn. Next Tuesday we will finish our discussion of chapter 1 including the uses of case briefs. The assignment for Tuesday is to finish reading Chapter 1 of the text. (And a reminder that there will be no class Thursday 9/13).
