LAW 2942 - Sex-based Discrimination


This seminar explores the topic of sex equality as reflected in constitutional law and in various bodies of federal and state statutory law. The seminar begins with the constitutional history of the unequal and different treatment of men and women in matters such as citizenship, marriage and employment, and examines the evolution of modern equal protection jurisprudence. It also covers sex discrimination in employment (including sexual harassment and pregnancy discrimination) and in education (including athletics, sexual harassment, and single-sex schools). Attention may also be given to current debates involving sex equality, including reproductive rights, pornography, domestic violence, affirmative action, and women in the legal profession.

Credits: 2 or 3
