POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Thursday 11/6, we began by discussing Lawrence v. Texas. We looked at rational basis review versus strict scrutiny, equal protection versus due process, and the rights of individual versus the power of government. We then began our discussion of Glassford v. BrickKicker. We looked at waiver of liability clauses. I discussed the Maine case of Lloyd v. Sugarloaf, the mountain biking case in which the Maine Supreme Court looked at the enforceability of waivers in Maine. We will begin next Tuesday with the question of what kind of clause was at issue in Glassford. The additional assignment for Tuesday 11/11 is to finish Chapter II of the text (Caperton).
POS 484 CRIMINAL DUE PROCESS
In class today, Thursday 11/6, we first finished our discussion of Herring, paying particular attention to the culpability question. We traced the flow of the Court's opinion, and then also discussed the two dissents. We then turned to Davis (the subject of the outline assignment), going over the question of retroactivity as laid out in Linkletter and Griffith. The assignment for Tuesday 11/11 is to continue working on the Davis outline, due at the beginning of class on Thursday 11/13.
