POS 282--Introduction to American Law
In class today, Thursday 2/16, I distributed two handouts: the Maine statute regarding illegal evictions, and my version of the Degenhardt case brief. I collected the Degenhardt briefs, and I plan on grading them this weekend and returning them on Tuesday. On Tuesday I will also go over some sample test questions for the test on Thursday 2/23. We will also finish our discussion of the Suggs case on Tuesday. The only additional reading for Tuesday 2/21 is to read pp. 50-51 of the text.
POS 359--The Current Supreme Court Term
In class today, Thursday 2/16, we went over the Second Circuit decision in FCC v. Fox. We talked about obscenity versus indecency, broadcast versus other media, strict scrutiny, Fifth Amendment versus First Amendment, and the words which can't be said. The assignment for Tuesday 2/21 is to read the 1978 Supreme Court opinion in FCC v. Pacifica, 438 U.S. 726. You can Google the case and come up with many different publications of the text of the case. Make sure that you read all four opinions in the case, and understand the differences between them.
