POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Tuesday 10/22, I distributed 3 handouts: my version of the Bishop case brief; the comment key to my comments on your case briefs; and a sample test in preparation for Thursday's test. I handed back your Bishop case briefs, and we went over them and the comment key. We the finished up our discussion of Suggs v. Norris, and I went over a Maine case, Paffhausen v. Balano, that also asked about contract formation in the context of a claim against an estate. I also discussed citation form for all levels of the federal court system: U.S. District Courts, U.S. Courts of Appeal, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
On Thursday 10/24, the class will take Exam #1. If you are missing any handouts, email me by 8:00 pm on Wednesday 10/23 with your requests. Remember that the exam is open book and open note, and those using laptops or other devices may not perform any searches or other operations that those having paper materials are unable to perform.
