Handouts

A few of you have been asking "where are the Handouts" that are starting to show up on the list of assignments.

As future lawyers, you need to learn how to manage your documents. Thus, I am certain most of you realize that you already have handouts 1-7B. They were included in the original packet of handouts for "Fall 2009."

If you have lost your set of handouts, please copy a classmate's set, because there are no more copies available in the kiosk.

Class Cancelled Friday Sept. 25

The Young Lawyers Seminar-- next Friday, Sept. 25-- will be held in Rm. 113. We have been evicted from our classroom to make room for this program.

So we will not meet on Friday Sept. 25.

Instead, we will extend each class by roughly 7-10 minutes until we have made up 75 minutes.

It should take us about 8 extra long class sessions to accomplish this sum.

Finders and True Owners

Here is a nice local news story about some lost money and an honest finder.

Three cheers for Emmanuel, a young man who lived up to his name!

Zoning Problems of Large Churches

Here is a post from the Religion Clause blog about an issue we will cover later this semester:

Large Churches Face Zoning Hurdles

Today's Baltimore Sun carries an interesting analysis of zoning opposition to building of mega-churches (and similarly large synagogues and mosques). Dave Travis, a consultant who tracks these trends says: "There's still a general impression that most churches are small: The white frame church down there on the corner, the little brick building that has a hundred people. Just the fact that you've got a church with a couple thousand people seems abnormal to lots of people." Some large churches are instead pursuing a multi-site strategy.
