POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Thursday 10/28, I distributed one handout, state and federal statutes involving hindering apprehension, common law crimes, and the duty to report crimes. We finished our discussion of Gregg v. Georgia, and discussed the article about the back-room compromise in Furman. We then discussed State v. Mobbley, both the majority and the dissenting opinion. We looked at the Maine statute about hindering apprehension, and we analyzed with what crime Ms. Mobbley might be charged in Maine.
The assignment for Tuesday 10/31 is to read today's handout, and to read in the text pp. 65 - 72 (including Holland and Lawrence).


POS 383 CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
In class today, Thursday 10/28, we finished our discussion of Morrison v. Olson. We then started our discussion of NLRB v. Canning, including how to do an outline of that case. We got as far as Breyer's discussion of the purpose of the Recess Appointment Clause, which is where we'll pick up next Tuesday.
The assignment for Tuesday 10/31 is continue work on your NLRB outline, which I really want you to write up and have ready for discussion. In addition, read in the text pp. 228-234, and to do outlines (not handed in or graded) of the majority opinion in Myers (p.229).
