POS 282--Introduction to American Law
In class today, Tuesday, 1/15, after a general introduction, I distributed two handouts: the syllabus, and a listing of useful legal websites. I asked students to log onto the library's Lexis/Nexis Academic site. We went over the organization of the state and federal court systems, and then we discussed the U.S. Supreme Court oral argument yesterday in the case of Virginia v. Moore. The reading assignment for Thursday 1/17 is to read pages 1-28 in the text.
