POS 282--Introduction to American Law
In class today, Tuesday 12/2, I first returned the Brown/Ireland casebriefs, and distributed a Comment Key. I also distributed a handout regarding the Maine Statues of Limitation for both civil and criminal cases. From the text, we went over the concept of standing, and then I added two recent U.S. Supreme Court cases, Massachusetts v. EPA and Hein v. Freedom from Religion Foundation. We got up to page 245 in the text, claims preclusion. The assignment for Thursday 12/4 is to read and prepare to discuss through the end of Chapter 6 (page 264).
