Employment Discrimination: Law and Theory (University Casebook)

Constitutional Law

Foundation Press

This book is intended as an introduction to the field of employment discrimination law, both at the abstract level of theory and at the concrete level of doctrine. It is as much an introduction for experienced lawyers and scholars who come to this field with a thorough knowledge of other aspects of the law as for law students who have just begun preparing for their careers.

Employment Discrimination Law (Concepts and Insights)

Business

This casebook provides the most complete treatment available of constitutional tort actions under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and Bivens. The elaborate doctrines of official immunity are examined in detail, as is the possibility of direct governmental liability under Monell v. Dept. of Social Services. The Fourth Edition also explores the relation of § 1983 to the Eleventh Amendment, qualified immunity, and the award of attorney’s fees. It also provides an introduction to actions under other Reconstruction Civil Rights Acts (§§ 1981, 1982, and 1985), under modern statutes such as Title VII and Title IX (which add sex discrimination to previously prohibited grounds of discrimination), and to structural reform litigation (usually undertaken in the form of class actions).

Civil Rights Actions: Enforcing the Constitution (University Casebook Series)

Jeffries Jr., John

Karlan, Pamela

This book provides an introduction to the field of employment discrimination law, both at the abstract level of theory and at the concrete level of doctrine. It is as much an introduction for experienced lawyers and scholars who come to this field with a thorough knowledge of other aspects of the law as for law students who have just begun preparing for their careers. The leading decisions of the Supreme Court receive a comprehensive analysis, in terms both of theory and doctrine, putting them in the context of the relevant statutory provisions and other judicial decisions. This book offers three different theoretical perspectives–based on history, economics, and critical social theory–to explain both the complexities and the tensions inherent in existing law. The new edition of this book addresses several major developments in the field. Liability for retaliation has largely expanded under Title VII and other statutes, some of which do not explicitly prohibit this form of discrimination. The Supreme Court continues to refine the requirement of proof of intentional discrimination in individual cases, relying outside of the main prohibitions in Title VII on a test of “but for” causation. In class actions, the decision in Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes has redefined the circumstances in which a class action can be certified and re-examined how the procedural requirements for certification interact with the merits of the plaintiff’s claims. Affirmative action has come under renewed scrutiny in two decisions by the Supreme Court in Fisher v. University of Texas, resulting in ambivalent signals about the standards for assessing the constitutionality of affirmative action plans. The Court’s decisions on gay marriage have implications for the coverage of the laws against employment discrimination, as revealed by recent controversies over transgender rights. All of these major developments, and others as well, are covered in the new edition of this book.

Employment Discrimination Law, Visions of Equality in Theory and Doctrine (Concepts and Insights)

This text on transnational civil litigation presents the basic legal doctrine within a larger, illuminating conceptual framework. The book organizes the subject around three basic concepts: national sovereignty, individual rights, and political accountability. After highlighting the unique problems of litigation across national boundaries, the book explores the essential role of individual rights, especially due process and substantive human rights. It then examines the role of the political branches of government in enacting the statutes and treaties that govern transnational litigation. These three concepts play out in the following chapters: 
<ul>
<li>Introductory chapters on jurisdiction in three different senses: personal jurisdiction; prescriptive jurisdiction (especially extraterritoriality); and federal subject-matter jurisdiction.</li>
<li>A chapter on foreign sovereigns as litigants, concerned with sovereign immunity and the act of state doctrine.</li>
<li>Two chapters on procedure in pending cases, one on service of process and discovery, and another on parallel proceedings, concerned with forum non conveniens, stays, and anti-suit injunctions.</li>
<li>Two final chapters addressed to the resolution of disputes, through recognition of foreign judgments and enforcement of arbitration agreements and awards.</li>
</ul>

Transnational Civil Litigation (Concepts and Insights)

In this edition, the authors preserve the relative simplicity and compact coverage of an introductory employment discrimination law casebook in a field which continues to grow ever more complex. Keeping the larger questions in view, and the controversial arguments that surround them on all sides, remains a challenge as cases and statutes raise ever more finely tuned issues of doctrine. This edition keeps readers abreast of recent developments, assesses what they hold for the future of employment discrimination law, and introduces the issues in a field of continuing vitality and controversy.

Transnational Civil Litigation: Principles and Prospects (Concepts and Insights)

This book provides an introduction to the field of employment discrimination law, both at the abstract level of theory and at the concrete level of doctrine. It is as much an introduction for experienced lawyers and scholars who come to this field with a thorough knowledge of other aspects of the law as for law students who have just begun preparing for their careers.

This book offers three different theoretical perspectives–based on history, economics, and critical social theory–to explain both the complexities and the tensions inherent in existing law.The new edition of this book addresses several major developments in the field, which have gone in two different directions: towards broader and more general prohibitions, and at the same time, towards exceptions recognized on a variety of grounds. The broad trend is epitomized by the Supreme Court’s interpretation of Title VII’s prohibition against sex discrimination to include discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The Supreme Court took this step in the wake of constitutional decisions legitimizing gay and same-sex marriage. It also acted despite the repeated failure of bills in Congress that would have explicitly prohibited employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The restrictive tendency is evident in decisions recognizing and expanding the constitutional right of religious organizations to choose ministers and teachers of faith regardless of the laws against employment discrimination. All of these major developments, and others as well, are covered in the new edition of this book.
