POS 282--Introduction to American Law
In class today, Thursday 11/12, I distributed two handouts: one is the Maine "long-arm" statute, and the other is an excerpt from the Maine Rules of Civil Procedure regarding service of process. We finished our discussion of Full Faith and Credit, and went on to a discussion in Chapter Four of juries. I talked about the U.S. Supreme Court case of Burch v. Louisiana, 441 U.S. 130 (1979) regarding the use of non-unanimous six person juries in felony trials. We then began our discussion of subject-matter jurisdiction with the Edwards case on p. 157. We will pick up next week with some more subject-matter jurisdiction cases, and then go to personal jurisdiction. The assignment is to read over those two handouts, and read through p. 169 of the text.
