POS 282--Introduction to American Law
In class today, Thursday 9/3, I distributed two handouts: a case brief template, and a sample case brief of AAC v. Dearborn. We discussed some of the concepts of jurisprudence from the beginning of Chapter One of the text, including the concept of Natural Law. I went over the Maine Court system, and the Federal Court system, and introduced the citation format for those systems. We began discussing the AAC case, and the AAC brief, including the cause of action segment by which the 14th Amendment incorporated, as against the states, the Bill of Rights protections that were aimed at limiting only the Federal government. The assignment for Tuesday 9/8 is to review the handouts from today, and to read in the textbook pp. 28-42.
