POS 282--Introduction to American Law
In class today, Tuesday 9/29, I returned the Goss briefs, and I also distributed a Comment Key that went along with those corrected briefs. We then discussed the Suggs v. Norris case, and got through the Justice Stewart's plurality opinion in Gregg v. Georgia. The assignment for Thursday 10/1 is to read and prepare to discuss through p. 80 of the text. What I mean by being prepared to discuss a case is to have worked out all of the elements of the case brief, although I am not asking you to write it out and hand it in. Remember that on Thursday October 1, we will also have Sen. Richard Rosen, a long-time member of the Maine legislature, speak to the class. Come prepared with things you'd like to know about our Legislature.
