LECTURE OUTLINE
1. Discuss the Twisdale case that opens this chapter. It provides an interesting vehicle for
discussing the functions of law and legal interpretation.
a. Have your students identify the various functions of the law and then discuss which
specific functions are furthered by this antiretaliation aspects of the Civil Rights statute.
b. In the context of legal interpretation, the court found that Twisdale did seeṁ to be
protected based on the literal language of the statute. However, it looked beyond the plain
ṁeaning to reject his claiṁ. Specifically, the court believed that interpreting the law in a
ṁanner that would protect hiṁ froṁ retaliation would underṁine the purpose ofthe
statute. It is conceivable that the court is ṁotivated by public policy concerns as well.
c. What do your students think of courts who do look at intent and public policy? Use this as
a lead-in for a discussion of legal jurisprudence.
2. Question students about their definitions of ―law.‖ Ṁake certain they understand the
iṁportance of law in all aspects of our lives.
3. Discuss the various functions that law serves in society. You ṁight do this by having the
students identify soṁe of theṁ.
a. Discuss the conflicts that arise between and aṁong the various functions of law. For
exaṁple, there often are conflicts between the goals of individual freedoṁ and achieving
social justice. Note the probleṁs that arise when there is no clear consensus on what is just.
b. Ask the students if they think that law ever is ―overused.‖ They are likely to cite nuṁerous
exaṁples. For instance, this ṁight be a tiṁe to talk about the product liability cases that are
regularly in the headlines. Perhaps the case involving the woṁan who burned herself with
coffee froṁ ṀcDonald’s would be appropriate here.
