CHAPTER 1: LAW AND LEGAL REASONING
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 seem to be
protected based on the literal language of the statute. However, it looked beyond the
plain meaning to reject his claim. Specifically, the court believed that interpreting the
law in a manner that would protect him from retaliation would undermine the purpose of
the statute. It is conceivable that the court is motivated 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.‖ Make certain they understand the
importance of law in all aspects of our lives.
3. Discuss the various functions that law serves in society. You might do this by having the
students identify some of them.
a. Discuss the conflicts that arise between and among the various functions of law. For
example, there often are conflicts between the goals of individual freedom and achieving
social justice. Note the problems 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
numerous examples. For instance, this might be a time to talk about the product liability
cases that are regularly in the headlines. Perhaps the case involving the woman who
burned herself with coffee from McDonald’s would be appropriate here.
