Day 2

1.  Review the following concepts:
  • top down (government working from Federal level down to state and local for examples setting a mandate for Megans Law which filters down to local level of government). 
  • bottom up (government working from the local and state level up to the federal level for example local governments banning plastic bags in stores in SF, now this is spreading throughout the state and might one day be a federal law) 
  • Full Faith and Credit Clause (states must recognize and give full faith and credit to licenses and documents from one state to another for example a marriage license in Cal must be recognized in Ohio.  A driver's license from Hawaii must be honored in Colorado). 
  • Extradition (a person who commits a crime in Cal then flees to Arizona must be extradited, or brought back to the place of the crime in Cal to face his/her trial). 
  • Interstate Compact (agreements between states:  California and Nevada share Lake Tahoe so they have a compact in order to take care of the Lake, share it's resources, etc).

2.  Also review the google doc from yesterday
