General Assignment Information

FIRST-DAY READING ASSIGNMENT

 

It should go without saying that you need to read the Syllabus in great detail. The first reading assignment is pages 1 to 9 in the Casebook.   Hammontree v Jenner is a very difficult case to understand.  I would suggest that you read it at least 6 times.  This is a case I will use as the basis for much of what we will talk about the entire semester.
