POS 282--Introduction to American Law
In class today, Tuesday 9/15, I distributed one handout, a sample brief of Washington v. Glucksberg. We spend the class going over the Facts, Issues, and Holding of that case. We also discussed the concepts of "following", "distinguishing", "reversing", and "overruling" prior precedent. On Thursday 9/17 we will discuss briefly Justice Souter's concurrence in Glucksberg, and also briefly discuss the Connecticut v. Doe decision (previously assigned). The assignment for Thursday 9/17 is to read the case of Katko v. Briney, 183 N.W.2d 657 (Iowa, 1971) (text, p. 47). Then write up a Brief of that decision, using the Sample Brief Template and the 2 Sample Briefs (AAC and Glucksberg) as models for format (not just the Facts, Issues, and Holding, but the entire Format). I will collect this assignment, but I will not grade it.
