September 28, 2009

PL 301--Torts
In class today, Monday 9/28, I distributed two handouts, my Sample Brief of the Merriam case, and the homework assignment for Wednesday. I collected the Merriam briefs, and we spent the entire class going over the case. I will hand them back on Wednesday.

The assignment for Wednesday September 30 is to read and prepare to discuss the case of Addy v. Jenkins, 2009 ME 46. You don't have to write a Brief of the case, but prepare to discuss it as if you had written up a brief of the case.

The case can be accessed by going to the Maine Supreme Court site

http://www.courts.state.me.us/court_info/opinions/supreme/index.shtml

(or else just Google Maine supreme court opinions and follow that link)

then scroll down to 2009 ME 46

The case has both a majority opinion and a dissenting opinion. Read both. Which makes more sense to you? Why?
