In class today, Tuesday 2/12, we went over the Goss briefs. I handed those papers back, and also distributed a key to understanding my Goss brief comments.
We also began our discussion of the Gregg v. Georgia case in Chapter 2 of the text.
The assignment for Thursday 2/14 is to read and prepare to discuss through p. 83 of the text. Also on Thursday I will go over the format and sample questions for our first test, which will be on Thursday 2/21.

In class today, Tuesday 2/12, I distributed one handout, a letter published in the Maine Campus, and we used that letter to go over the 6 elements of the tort of libel. I also went over the requirements for the Milkovich/Caron paper that is due on Thursday.
