POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Friday 4/21, I distributed one handout, an excerpt from Obergefell v. Hodges that discussed full faith and credit regarding recognition of out-of-state same sex marriages. We spent pretty much the entire class period today going over aspects of the Gaeth v. Deacon case brief due next Friday. We went over the first issue of whether Lincoln county was the proper venue for the case under the Maine venue statute. I also talked about whether that part of the opinion might really just be dictum, since the case is ultimately resolved under the constitutional issue about service by publication. We talked at length about three aspects of that service of process issue: publication in Lincoln county, publication in Maine anywhere, and publication at all.
The assignment for Monday 4/24 is to continue work on your Gaeth case briefs (remembering the rule that there is no communication allowed with anyone but me regarding the brief, including what was discussed in class today). Also review Finstuen v. Crutcher (previously assigned) as well as today's handout.
POS 384 CIVIL LIBERTIES
In class today, Friday 4/21, I collected the WWH outlines. We spent the class going over those outlines, and I plan to return them on Monday.
The assignment for Monday 4/24 is to review through Smith, previously assigned.
