POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Wednesday 2/22, I distributed one handout, my version of the Katko case brief. The class took an in-class sample test in preparation for Exam #1 next Wednesday, March 1st. If you find that you are missing any handouts, you must email me by 8:00pm on Tuesday 2/28 to let me know that you want me to bring a missing handout for you. We finished going through the Katko case brief, including the dissenting opinion. We began looking at the kinds of authority relied on by the Katko court. We looked at primary authority versus secondary authority, and discussed again the concepts of following versus distinguishing authority. We will continue with the Hooker case and the other cited authority on Friday. We will also go through the Maine statute regarding the use of force.
The assignment for Friday 2/24 is to review Katko, review the Maine statute,and read and do a case brief of Suggs v. Norris (not handed in) and read the remainder of Chapter 1 of the text.
