POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Friday 4/29, I distributed one handout, the Maine long-arm statute. I talked about four methods of obtaining personal jurisdiction over a defendant: service of process within the state, domicile, consent, and contacts with the forum state. We went through the Swoboda case. I then talked about Walden v. Fiore, a U.S. Supreme Court case, and Commerce Bank v. Dworman, a Maine Supreme Court case. The assignment for Monday, May 2 is to review St. James v. Coinmatch (previously assigned) and to read in addition the remainder of Chapter IV of the text (including Frump v. Clair's Boutiques).
POS 484 CRIMINAL DUE PROCESS
In class today, Friday 4/29, I collected the Assignment #2 papers, and we went over them. I hope to grade them this weekend, and return them on Monday. I distributed one handout, the recent confrontation clause case of Ohio v. Clark. We went over the Richmond Newspapers case, including all three opinions in the text. The assignment for Monday May 2 is to read in the text pp. 569 - 571, and to read today's handout. If you weren't in class, you can find the case here:
