There is nothing else to buy and nothing else is recommended. There will also be a supplement entitled “Supplemental Pennsylvania Materials on Conflict of Laws,” which I am currently updating due to some recent important developments. It will be available to download from TWEN. We won’t need it for a while. For the first day I will talk a bit and give some history of Conflicts and Conflicts theory and then go into the following cases: Alabama Great Southern RR; Milliken; Barrie’s Estate; White. All other reading assignments will be posted on TWEN. For the near future we are going straight through the book, so feel free to read ahead for Thursday. I have created the TWEN page and it is accessible, so go ahead and sign up for it. There is little to no content at this point but I will be adding content as we go.

Be sure to bring to class an 8 ½” x 11” card with your first name written in large letters, and last name below in smaller letters, to help me with names during the class. This card goes in front of you in your assigned seat, please. Thanks for the help. 3. Generally read the introduction to the rule supplement you will use throughout the course, to familiarize yourself with how it is organized and what it contains that might help you. Same for the introduction to the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct. 4. You will be allowed to use your rule supplement in the final exam, but while you may underline or highlight portions of rules and even tab the supplement with rule numbers or even the names of the rules, no other annotations, writings, etc., of your book will be allowed unless I specifically tell you to do so; other annotations will be a violation of the honor code.
