Hello Students!

We have an exciting opportunity to attend a federal criminal trial next Thursday, Nov. 17 at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York!  We were originally scheduled to take quiz #3 that day, so now we’ll take quiz #3 at the start of our next class, this coming Tues. Nov. 15.  It will cover all topics since the midterm exam: Workings of a Law Office, Ethics & Professional Responsibility; and Sources of Law (chs. 3-5).  Please arrive on time so you don’t miss it!  We’ll also talk about Thursday’s visit to federal court to observe the trial of the “No Love City” Gangster Disciples—you may want to check out these resources about the case: Federal prosecutors’ news release describing the case, this Youtube video, and this information about the presiding judge, Judge William F. Kuntz with whom I used to work.

We’ll also discuss Legal Research and Writing in Tuesday’s class, so please read textbook ch. 7, pp. 175-201, on reserve in the college library.

Enjoy the rest of the week, see you Tuesday at 10am for our QUIZ!
