POS 282--Introduction to American Law
In class today, Thursday 3/22, we went over the Lawrence v. Texas case. We also watched a short clip from a recent Republican debate in which Mitt Romney was questioned about whether he agreed with Griswold v. Connecticut, the 1965 right to privacy case that began the line of case of which Lawrence is a part. After we finished our discussion of Lawrence, we began talking about the Reardon case and releases of liability. We will continue with Reardon next week. The additional assignment for Tuesday 3/27 is to finish reading and preparing to discuss Chapter 2 of the text.
