POS 359--The Current Supreme Court Term
In class today, Tuesday 3/24, I reminded the class that the Caperton assignment is due next Tuesday 3/31. We then went over the concept of "standing" in recent cases, including the Mayfield (Madrid bombing) oral argument that c-span covered this past weekend, and the Supreme Court decision in Summers v. Earth Island that was decided earlier this month. The assignment is to continue working on the Caperton paper.
CMJ 375--Mass Media Law
In class today, Tuesday 3/24, I reminded the class that Test #2 will be on Tuesday 3/31. I distributed 2 handouts, one regarding civil and criminal trespass statutes in Maine, and the other containing the Maine Freedom of Access Act (FOAA) . We discussed the federal and state rules regarding taping of conversations and the rules regarding trespass, and we began our discussion of the Maine FOAA. The assignment for Thursday 3/26 is to read in the textbook the remainder of Chapter 6, and to read in the casebook U.S. v. Reporters Committee, p. 130.
