LECTURE OUTLINE mn




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




m discussing the functions of law and legal interpretation.
n mn mn mn mn mn mn mn




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




specific functions are furthered by this antiretaliation aspects of the Civil Rights
m n mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn




statute. mn




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




protected based on the literal language of the statute. However, it looked beyond the
m n mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn




plain meaning to reject his claim. Specifically, the court believed that interpreting the
mn m n mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn




law in a manner that would protect him from retaliation would undermine the purpose
mn mn mn m n mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn




ofthe statute. It is conceivable that the court is motivated by public policy concerns as
mn m n mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn




well. mn




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




a lead-in for a discussion of legal jurisprudence.
m n mn mn mn mn mn mn mn




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




mimportance of law in all aspects of our lives.
n mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn




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




m students identify some of them.
n mn mn mn mn




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




example, there often are conflicts between the goals of individual freedom and achieving
m n mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn




social justice. Note the problems that arise when there is no clear consensus on what is just.
m n mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn




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




examples. For instance, this might be a time to talk about the product liabilitycases that
m n mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn




are regularly in the headlines. Perhaps the case involving the woman who burned
mn m n mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn mn




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