PL 100--Intro.
In class today, Thursday, 9/14, we started by doing more practice interviewing. I distributed 2 handouts, one on the Department of Labor regulations regarding overtime for paralegals, and the other a Maine Grievance Commission decision. We discussed some of Chapter 2 of the text. The assignment for Tuesday 9/19 is first to review your responses to the ethical questions at the end of Chapter 2. Read the handout regarding overtime. Read pp. 63-71 of the text, and the Grievance commission decision. Prepare to discuss all of these. (If you missed class, I left copies of the handouts for you in my mailbox in the Science and Humanities office, Room 300.)

PL 205--Legal Research
In class today, Thursday, 9/14, we went over two of the assignments at the end of Chapter 2. I handed out statutory research problems, and we went to the Husson library for the beginning of the library tour. The assignment for Tuesday 9/19 is to type up the results of your statutory research (to hand in, but not graded other than to acknowledge that you successfully completed the assignment.)
