The Constitution can be found, among other places, on our Con Law I website.

Also identify those provisions that (1) restrict the powers of the federal government, (2) restrict the powers of state governments, or (3) restrict the powers of individuals. What seem to be the primary functions of our Constitution? Are there some provisions of the Constitution that do not seem to fit into any of the categories listed above? All course materials, including a course syllabus, are posted online at our course website, “Exploring Constitutional Law.”
8 631B Constitutional Law I Rostron	We will not have class on Friday, January 9th because I will be out of town for a law school conference that day. The first class will be on Monday, January 12th.

(It’s 438 pages long, if that makes any difference in your decision about whether to buy it or print it out yourself.) You’ll see that the first twelve pages of the reading materials (pages i-xii) are a copy of the Constitution’s text. You do not need to read those pages for class, but they are included at the beginning of the reading materials so that you can refer to them throughout the semester when necessary. For the first class, please read “Assignment A” of the reading materials (in other words, pages A-1 through A-12).

8 740M Missouri Civil Procedure Achtenberg	1. Enroll in the Missouri Civil Procedure Lexis-Nexis webcourse. If you have any difficulty enrolling, please let me know. 2. Once you have enrolled, familiarize yourself generally with the various files in the Course Documents section of the webcourse. a. Check out all the links in the Missouri Law Links folder. These will provide you with much of the material we will study in the course and you will need to know how to find things through these links. You may want to save them as favorites on your own computer. If you have difficulty accessing the links or copying them into your favorites, download the word document at the end of the folder, “Word Document with Links,” and then copy the links from that document. b. Look at the files in the Case Summaries folder. I have given you forms for case summary charts in both Word and Excel format. I have also provided some sample summaries. Finally, I have given you the list of “Topics” to be used to classify your entries. 3. Once you are familiar with these parts of the webcourse, do the following project: a. Find the case of Doris Kesler-Ferguson v. Hy-Vee. It was decided by the Missouri Supreme Court on 12/16/2008. Find it first in the Supreme Court’s official website, then using Westlaw, then try to find it using MoBar ESQ. (Hint: for ESQ, look in the archived summaries and do a search for Kesler-Ferguson.) Then find and listen to the oral arguments in the case. (It was argued on 11/5/08. You can find the oral arguments in the “Upcoming Cases” portion of the Supreme Court’s web site.) b. Read the case carefully trying to decide what it teaches you about Missouri Civil Procedure. c. Then, download one of the Case Summary forms and make the entries you would make for the case. If you have Excel, please use the Excel form. It is easier to use than the Word form and easier to search and sort later. Do not worry if you are not sure that you are doing it right. That is how you will learn. 4. Finally, go back to the Course Documents section of the webcourse and look at the Chapters folder. Download (and, if you want, print) the chapter on Standards of Review. Study pages 1-5 (Anglim) and answer the questions after the case. If I were you, I would answer them in the Word file itself (either putting your answers after the questions or inserting them as Word comments).
