Only registered students and invited guests may participate in the Criminal Law Powwow Discussion Group. The group site will be used by "case experts" to post briefs of assigned cases. Another purpose of the discussion group is to provide a central, peer-to-peer sounding board for students in the class to engage in discussion, debate, comment, and argument by posting messages to the group via an email account. All students are required to register for the Powwow Group using a free Yahoo email account. I suggest you obtain an account dedicated solely to this class. If you are an enrolled student, you may subscribe from the Yahoo email address that you wish to use to send and receive group email.
Go to the Powwow Group page and sign up. On your application, be sure to specify your name and that you are a student
in Moses' criminal law class.
If you would like for me to subscribe you directly, email me your full name, class section, and the Yahoo email address you want to use.
Once you are signed up, you may post assignments to the Powwow page from your designated Yahoo email account to crimlawpowwow@yahoogroups.com . Everyone receives everyone else's posting. You may choose to have separate emails or a daily digest of emails. Due to the danger of viruses, E-mail attachments are not permitted; of course you can still cut and paste.
Membership in the Powwow group is mandatory and restricted to members of our criminal law class. Again, I urge that you establish a free YAHOO e-mail account dedicated for use in this course. You can do this in five minutes. To fully access the crimlawpowwow discussion site and its archives, you will need a Yahoo ID and password. There you will find briefs filed by your fellow students and a complete library of briefs of all our cases filed by several previous criminal law classes,
plus some useful files.
