Assignments
As I said in class, we will finish out the existing free
speech assignments (#3 thru #7) during our on line study. To provide some oral give
and take, I will post links to three oral arguments of cases we are reading. I
will write blog posts for each of the oral arguments and invite you to each
share at least one comment or impression on each oral argument.
Schedule
As we discussed, we will not be meeting in person or
virtually. All on line classes will be via this blog. Starting around March 31,
I will begin to upload posts to the blog on the cases and the related oral
arguments. I will provide more detailed blog posts designed to help you understand
the key issues and holdings of the cases we are studying. You will be able to
write comments at the end of the blog posts sharing ideas or asking questions.
You can also email any questions to me.
Grading & Exam
Your grade for this course will
be based (100%) upon the final exam. The final exam will be a 4-hour take-home
open book exam. It will consist of two essay questions, one a bit longer than
the other. This is an open book exam. You may use
whatever research materials you wish to complete the examination, including
materials you received from class, but you may not discuss, consult with, nor
rely upon the work product of any other person including lawyers, instructors,
or students. Your answers must represent your own work; you must do the
drafting and writing of the exam answers yourself.
Contact Information
I have
already emailed you my cell phone number. I am available either by phone or
email (rduncan2@unl.edu) whenever you need me. If you wish to talk by phone,
send me an email to set up a time when we can arrange for a call. If you need
to get me right away, just call me. These are difficult times, and I want to
help you however I can.
