POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Tuesday 11/1, we began by looking at Maine's law for mandated reporting of child abuse and neglect, and the lack of penalties for failure to comply with those reporting requirements. I then reviewed the BrickKicker holding about enforcing the arbitration clause in the contract, even without the contract's unconscionable parts. I went over four U.S. Supreme Court case about the situation when the Federal Arbitration Act comes into conflict with state law regarding unconscionable contract provisions: AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion, American Express v. Italian Colors, DirecTV v. Imburgia, and Kindred Nursing v. Clark. We then went over the Caperton case in the text. I plan on Thursday to start by talking about two cases that I didn't get to today, the recent U.S. Supreme Court judge recusal case of Williams v. Pa., and the Maine Supreme Court lawyer ethics case of Board of Overseers v. Warren. The assignment for Thursday 11/3 is to read in the text through p. 98 (the various opinions in the Obamacare ACA case).
