COURSE TWEN PAGE

I have established a page for this course on Westlaw’s The West Education Network (“TWEN”).  You can find it by searching for Federal Courts—Fall 2024—Bauries.  The Course Policies and First Full Set of Readings and posted there.  Please sign yourself up for this course, and make sure your email address is correct, as I will use the email list from the TWEN course to contact you if I need to.

 

LAPTOP AND INTERNET USE IN CLASS

I do not permit the use of laptops by students in this class.  I do permit notetaking using an electronic stylus on a lie-flat tablet.

Of course, if you have an ADA or Section 504 accommodation providing for laptop use for class notetaking, I will certainly honor that, but please let me know prior to the first class meeting if that is the case.

 

FIRST DAY READING ASSIGNMENT

Judicial Review and the Federal Court System.  Please read pages 1-17 (Marbury v. Madison).

 

Looking forward to meeting you all soon!
