POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Monday 4/22, I distributed one handout, Maine civil and criminal jurisdictional statutes. We went over the Cheap Escape case, and then I also talked about a Maine subject matter jurisdiction case, Landmark Realty v. Leasure, and a federal subject matter jurisdiction case, Bowles v. Russell. We went over the significance of the subject matter jurisdiction label for when a lawyer's failings will be important, and when they won't. The assignment for Wednesday 4/24, is to read through p. 135 of the text (jurisdiction over the person).
POS 384 CIVIL LIBERTIES
In class today, Monday 4/22, I distributed one handout, two news articles about political t-shirts in schools. We went over the Tinker case, and discussed how it might apply (or how it might be distinguished) regarding the banning of those t-shirts. I also went over the 1986 Supreme Court case of Bethel v. Fraser, and how it distinguished Tinker. The assignment for Wednesday 4/24, is to read through p. 272 of the text (Morse) and to continue work on assignment #2, due Friday 2/26.
