POS 282--Introduction to American Law
In class today, Thursday 4/24, we finished our discussion of Chapter 5 of the text, and went on to Chapter 6. Regarding the concept of standing in Chapter 6, I also went over two recent U.S. Supreme Court cases, Hein v. Freedom From Religion Foundation, and Massachusetts v. EPA. We discussed through the Sullivan case on p. 232. The assignment for Tuesday 4/29 is to read and prepare to discuss through page 257 of the text.
