Description:

The new edition of this highly regarded casebook offers an updated examination of law and theory relating to gender.

Instructors choose GENDER AND LAW: Theory, Doctrine, Commentary for:

  • a thorough analysis of gender and law through several distinct perspectives, which include formal equality, substantive equality, nonsubordination theory, difference theory, autonomy, and non-essentialism
  • going far beyond traditional 'women's' issues to draw cases, theory, and commentary from many different areas of the law, such as employment law, criminal law, constitutional law, family law, civil procedure, legal ethics, property law, and contracts
  • explaining to students the complex ways in which laws are said to be 'gendered'
  • including extensive coverage of issues relating to sexuality
  • unique 'Putting Theory into Practice' problems at the end of each section, which allow students to apply the legal and theoretical tools to cutting edge legal issues

  • new cases, statistics, commentary, and empirical studies of the law in action appear in the materials on sexual harassment, domestic violence, and rape
