PL 100--Intro.
In class today, Tuesday 9/19, we discussed the Ethical questions at the end of chapter 2, the handout regarding the DOL exempt status ruling for paralegals, the text pp.63-71, and the Savasuk decision. I distributed 3 handouts: a sample summary, the Ethical Lawyer handout, and the Brown decision. If you missed class, I left a copy of the handouts for you in my mailbox in room 300. The assignment for Thursday, 9/21 is to read and prepare to discuss the handouts.

PL 205--Legal Research
In class today, Tuesday 9/19, we discussed the results of your statutory research. We completed the tour of the Library. I distributed two handouts, the Maine Rule of Evidence regarding spousal privilege and a list of the Maine Rules available on the Maine Courts website. If you missed class, I left a copy of the handouts for you in my mailbox in room 300. The assignment for Thursday, 9/21 is to read Chapter 3 of the text. Then write out to hand in Assignment 9(b)(c) and (d) on page 95 and Assignment 14(c)(1-6) on page 96, using the Maine rule of spousal privilege instead of the rule given in the textbook (to be graded).
