POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Thursday 12/1, we first discussed Assignment #2, due next Thursday 12/8. We discussed what was decided in both cases, and how the two decisions square with each other (or don't). We then went over Johnson v. Cintas and Salmon v. Atkinson in the textbook. Regarding the theory of quantum meruit from the Salmon case, I also went over the Maine case of Paffhausen v. Balano, which differentiated quantum meruit from unjust enrichment, and went over the different theories of recovery for each theory. The assignment for Tuesday 12/6 is to continue working on the two case briefs, and to read in the text pp.164-175 (including Idani and Timmermann).
