PL 301--Torts
In class today, Wednesday 9/23, I distributed one handout, a sheet going over the format categories for the Merriam brief. We went over some aspects of the Merriam case, and also looked at the Summers v. Tice case in Chapter 4 of the text. Then we went to the Husson computer lab, where I introduced the class to the joys of Westlaw, with the exercise of seeing whether Maine had adopted the burden-shifting rule of Summers v. Tice. The assignment for Monday 9/28 is to complete (and have ready to pass in at the beginning of the class) the Merriam v. Wanger case brief that was assigned on 9/21.
