POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Wednesday 9/5, I distributed one handout, the class Syllabus. We went over that Syllabus, and also discussed the legal profession and law schools a bit. The assignment for Friday 9/7 is to read and prepare to discuss pp. 1-14 of the text.
POS 359 FEDERALISM
In class today, Wednesday 9/5, I distributed two handouts, the class Syllabus and the Articles of Confederation. We went over that Syllabus, and also discussed the federalism aspects of June's Obamacare Supreme Court decision. I left that discussion with the class in suspense about how the offer of a boatload of money by the Feds to the states could be unconstitutional. I also went over how I came to develop my world view as the Feds being the good guys, with the assertion of states' rights being the bad guys (see Orval Faubus, September 1957). The assignment for Friday 9/7 is to read and prepare to discuss the Articles of Confederation, and also prepare to discuss your own views about good guys and bad guys.
POS 359 THE CURRENT SUPREME COURT TERM
In class today, Wednesday 9/5, I distributed two handouts, the class Syllabus and the list of Justices/Websites. We went over that Syllabus, and also went over a short history of each of the Justices. The assignment for Friday 9/7 is to read and prepare to discuss pp. 1-24 of the Greenhouse book (our text).
