POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Monday 2/25, we started with the various opinions in the 1972 case of Furman v. Georgia. We then went over the case of Gregg v. Georgia in detail, looking at the plurality decision and the two dissents. I then discussed some of the more recent cruel and unusual cases: Coker v. Georgia, Atkins v. Virginia, Roper v. Simmons, Graham v. Florida, and Miller v. Alabama. On Wednesday 2/27 we will have Exam #1, open-book and open-note. Please be in touch with me as soon as possible if you will not be able to make it to class on Wednesday (the window for a make-up exam is very small). We will then go over the exam on Friday 3/1.
