Wednesday audio--Section B, Section A. I will circulate the seating chart next Wednesday. We will set time aside for questions about the Syllabus, Assessments, structure, assignments, etc.
Review Introduction to Civil Procedure. Additional question: Who has the root power to create procedural rules for courts? What are the various sources of rules within the current federal system?
Prep Pleading: Introduction to Pleading. Familiarize yourself with our four cases (Naruto, VOA, Godin, and Morgan). In addition to the reading and discussion questions provided, read the short order in Trump v. New York Times (do not worry about the discussion of Rule 8--focus on the rest). What does it mean to use a pleading as a "press release?" What are the benefits and drawbacks to doing that?
Please note that I made a few small changes to the Syllabus and to the Discussion Questions post based on recent events. Please use this version going forward.
