LECTURE OUTLINE

1. Discuss the Twisdale case that opens this chapter. It provides an interesting vehicle for
V V V V V V V V V V V V V




Vdiscussing the functions of law and legal interpretation.
V V V V V V V




a. Have your students identify the various functions of the law and then discuss which
V V V V V V V V V V V V V




specific functions are furthered by this antiretaliation aspects of the Civil Rights statute.
V V V V V V V V V V V V V




b. In the context of legal interpretation, the court found that Twisdale did seem to be
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




protected based on the literal language of the statute. However, it looked beyond the plain
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




meaning to reject his claim. Specifically, the court believed that interpreting the law in a
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




manner that would protect him from retaliation would undermine the purpose ofthe
V V V V V V V V V V V V




Vstatute. It is conceivable that the court is motivated by public policy concerns as well.
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




c. What do your students think of courts who do look at intent and public policy? Use thisas a
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




lead-in for a discussion of legal jurisprudence.
V V V V V V V




2. Question students about their definitions of ―law.‖ Make certain they understandthe
V V V V V V V V V V V




importance of law in all aspects of our lives.
V V V V V V V V V




3. Discuss the various functions that law serves in society. You might do this by having the
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




Vstudents identify some of them.
V V V V




a. Discuss the conflicts that arise between and among the various functions of law. For example,
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




there often are conflicts between the goals of individual freedom and achieving social
V V V V V V V V V V V V V




justice. Note the problems that arise when there is no clear consensus on what is just.
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




b. Ask the students if they think that law ever is ―overused.‖ They are likely to cite numerous
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




examples. For instance, this might be a time to talk about the product liabilitycases that are
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




regularly in the headlines. Perhaps the case involving the woman who burned herself with
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




coffee from McDonald’s would be appropriate here.
