b. In gthe gcontext gof glegal ginterpretation, gthe gcourt gfound gthat g Twisdale gdid gseem gto gbe
g protected gbased gon gthe gliteral glanguage gof gthe gstatute. gHowever, git glooked gbeyond
gthe g plain g meaning gto greject ghis gclaim. gSpecifically, gthe gcourt gbelieved gthat
ginterpreting gthe g law gin ga g manner gthat gwould gprotect ghim gfrom gretaliation g would
gundermine gthe gpurpose gofthe g statute. g It gis gconceivable gthat gthe gcourt gis gmotivated
gby gpublic gpolicy gconcerns gas gwell.
c. What gdo gyour gstudents gthink gof gcourts gwho gdo glook gat gintent gand gpublic gpolicy? gUse

gnumerous g examples. gFor ginstance, gthis gmight gbe ga gtime gto gtalk gabout gthe gproduct
gliabilitycases gthat gare g regularly gin gthe gheadlines. gPerhaps gthe gcase ginvolving gthe
gwoman gwho gburned gherself gwith g coffee gfrom gMcDonald’s gwould gbe gappropriate
ghere.
