Warm Up - Friday 5/20 - Is it legal to lie?

So this morning I want you to read about an interesting court case that has made its way through an appeals court in San Fransisco, that looks like it might be making its way to the Supreme Court.

What I would like you to do is the following:

  • Write down 5 facts about this case, what is it about, what law is involved, what did Alverez do to get in trouble?
  • Write down two quotes that you think are the most effective/important (make sure to say who said them!)
Good Luck
