LECTURE OUTLINE xxi




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




x discussing the functions of law and legal interpretation.
x i xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi




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




specific functions are furthered by this antiretaliation aspects of the Civil Rights
x x i xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xx i xxi xxi xxi xxi




statute. xxi




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




protected based on the literal language of the statute. However, it looked beyond the
x x i xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi




plain meaning to reject his claim. Specifically, the court believed that interpreting the
xx i x x i xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi




law in a manner that would protect him from retaliation would undermine the purpose
xxi xxi xxi x x i xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi




ofthe statute. It is conceivable that the court is motivated by public policy concerns as
xxi x x i xx i xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi




well. xxi




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




a lead-in for a discussion of legal jurisprudence.
x x i xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi




2. Question students about their definitions of ―law.‖ Make certain they understand the
xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi




ximportance of law in all aspects of our lives.
x i xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi




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




x students identify some of them.
x i xxi xxi xxi xxi




a. Discuss the conflicts that arise between and among the various functions of law. For xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi




example, there often are conflicts between the goals of individual freedom and
x x i xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi




achieving social justice. Note the problems that arise when there is no clear consensus on
xxi x x i xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi




what is just. xxi xxi xxi




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




examples. For instance, this might be a time to talk about the product liabilitycases that
x x i xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi




are regularly in the headlines. Perhaps the case involving the woman who burned
xxi x x i xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi xxi




herself with coffee from McDonald’s would be appropriate here.
