PL 100--Intro.
In class today, Thursday 10/26, we finished going over the questions at the end of Chapter 5. We played our respective roles in the BHE controversy. I distributed 2 handoouts, one the Maine long-arm statute and the other the Maine Supreme Court case of Commerce Bank v. Dworman. The assignment for Tuesday 10/31 is to first read the Maine long-arm statute and the case. Then write up a summary of the case (typed, to be handed in and graded). The summary should have the components of Background Facts, Question Presented (the big issue), Issue(s), Answer(s), and Resolution. [The case goes over many already established rules for personal jurisdiction. Do not confuse these with the actual issues that the Court deals with. Limit your summary to those issues in which the court actually has a question to deal with, and how it answers that question.]
PL 205--Research
In class today, Thursday 10/26, we conducted research, including Shepardizing. The assignment for Tuesday !0/31 is to brief the recent Maine Supreme court case of Spencer v. VIP, 2006 ME 120. In addition to the regular components of the brief, I would like you to include a section on the Issues and Holdings as discussed by the 2 dissenting justices. (In addition, the ongoing assignment is to write up the results of the research that you have done in the class.)
