Here's the podcast for the public policy tort Chapter4podcast.mp3 and for employee mobility chapter7.mp3.

Enjoy!

Even though we're not all the way through homicide and causation, it seemed a good idea to post the podcast summary for that topic, given that our quiz is only a week away. And here it is: crimpod5.mp3

As always, let me know if you have any questions.

In the spirit of the season. which begins this evening. . .

Le shana tova and gemar chatima tova to everyone celebrating the high holidays!

And a peaceful Ramadan for those who observe that holy month!

We will finish up with chapter 3 today, and so here are the first two podcasts: For chapters 1 and 2 Worklaw_intro.mp3; and for chapter 3 (contracting for individual job security) Worklaw_ch_3.mp3

At the end of Chapter 3, you should be able to understand that the basic legal framework for the employment relationship is contractual, what the at-will contract provides, and how the at-will contract can be modified to limit an employer's ability to terminate the employee at will. Our next topic will consider a tort exception to the at-will rules, and then we will consider ways that the employee's ability to leave at will (or really what employees can do after they leave) might be restricted.

I can't believe how much we've covered already in criminal law. I hope that you're finding our current work a little more concrete than our prior work. And to help with all of that background material, I've done three podcasts: 1. on the analytical structure of criminal law crimpod1.mp3; 2. on the legality principle Crimpod2.mp3; 3. and on the theories of punishment crimpod3.mp3.

And just for good measure, here is the podcast on culpability: crimpod4.mp3

Enjoy!
