POS 282--Introduction to American Law
In class today, Thursday 10/8, I first went over the upcoming class schedule. There is no class on Tuesday 10/13. On Thursday 10/15 we will finish going over Chapter 2 of the text, and I will also give you a practice exam to go over the types of questions that will be in the exam (it is not a study session). The exam will be on Tuesday 10/20, and will cover all of the textbook and classroom material covered so far this semester. It will be open book and open note. I will hand the exam back on Thursday 10/22, and we'll go over it at that time.
We started our discussion today by going over "duty to report" cases, and I talked about the Maine Superior Court case of Cilley v. Lane, 2009 WL 558273 (Me. Super.) We spent the rest of the class talking about Lawrence v. Texas from the textbook. The assignment for Thursday 10/15 is to finish reading and preparing to discuss the remainder of Chapter 2 of the text.
