LECTURE OUTLINE
g




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




gdiscussing the functions of law and legal interpretation.
g g g g g g g




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




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




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




based on the literal language of the statute. However, it looked beyond the plain meaning
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




to reject his claim. Specifically, the court believed that interpreting the law in a manner that
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




would protect him from retaliation would undermine the purpose ofthe statute. It is
g g g g g g g g g g g g g




conceivable that the court is motivated by public policy concerns as well.
g g g g g g g g g g g g




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




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




2. Question students about their definitionsof ―law.‖ Make certain they understandthe
g g g g g g g g g g g




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




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




gstudents identify some of them.g g g g




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




there often are conflicts between the goals of individual freedom and achieving social justice.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




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




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




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




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




coffee from McDonald’s would be appropriate here.
