Tomorrow you will take a quiz on libel. It will be multiple-choice with a bonus question that calls for a short essay. Unlike the mid-term, notes will not be permitted. You will have a half-hour, after which we will have a class discussion about the Boston Herald libel case. The reading is not that extensive — please do it and be prepared to participate.
In order to study for the quiz, make sure you familiarize yourself with the basic principles of libel and the court cases that you have read and discussed in class. Be sure to go over the reading, your notes and the two sets of lecture slides that have been posted.
If you do all that, I have little doubt that you’ll do well.
