POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Tuesday 11/14, I distributed one handout, an excerpt from the Maine Rules of Professional Conduct (for lawyers). We first went over the Caperton case. I then discussed a 2016 Supreme Court recusal case, Williams v. Pennsylvania. Finally I talked about a 2011 Maine Supreme Court case, Board of Overseers v. Warren, about the responsibility of lawyers to report misconduct by other lawyers.
The assignment for Thursday 11/16 is to read in the text pp. 89-100, including NFIB v. Sebelius.
POS 383 CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
In class today, Tuesday 11/14, I first went over one aspect of Free Enterprise Fund that I had not covered last week, the three objections of the Fund to the appointment of the PCAOB under the inferior officers clause of Article II. We then went through U.S. v. Nixon and Nixon v. Fitzgerald, comparing and contrasting the outcome of the two cases.
The assignment for Thursday 11/16 is to read in the text pp. 251-260, including Clinton v. Jones and ex parte Grossman.
