POS 282--Introduction to American Law
In class today, Thursday 10/21, I distributed one handout, an excerpt from the Maine Rules of Professional Conduct. We compared Maine law regarding harboring criminals with the New Mexico statute in the Mobbley case. We went over the Holland case, and compared it to the Maine law regarding common law crimes. We talked about some instances where Maine does mandate reporting of misdeeds by others. We also discussed punitive damages cases like Johnson as they affect business ethics. The assignment for Tuesday 10/26 is to review the MRPC handout, and compare Maine advertising rules with those of Florida in the Pape case. The additional reading is to read through p. 121 of the text.
