LECTURE OUTLINE
m




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




mdiscussing the functions of law and legal interpretation.
m m m m m m m




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




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




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




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




meaning to reject his claim. Specifically, the court believed that interpreting the law in a
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




manner that would protect him from retaliation would undermine the purpose ofthe
m m m m m m m m m m m m




mstatute. It is conceivable that the court is motivated by public policy concerns as well.
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




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




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




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




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




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




mstudents identify some of them.
m m m m




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




there often are conflicts between the goals of individual freedom and achieving social
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




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




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




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




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




coffee from McDonald’s would be appropriate here.
