POS 282--Introduction to American Law
In class today, Tuesday 9/22, I distributed one handout, my formatting comments to the Katko case brief. I passed back those briefs, and we went over both the format and the substance of the Katko case. We looked at the use of precedent and persuasive authority. We then went on to discuss the Goss case a little. I explained the prior proceedings in the case, and also the use of Section 1983 in bringing a federal court action. Finally we discussed the two bases of federal jurisdiction, including the federal question jurisdiction in the Goss case. The assignment for Thursday 9/24 is to complete the Goss brief, which was assigned last Thursday (see the 9/17 blog entry) and is due on this Thursday 9/24.
