LAW 2989 - Antidiscrimination Law
Antidiscrimination Law is a two-credit seminar for which students will be eligible to receive Writing I credit for writing a final paper of between 25-30 pages in length on a topic related to antidiscrimination law, which is, in addition to heavy class participation, the only evaluative experience for the course. The course will examine different areas of law, such as voting rights, employment law, education law, and housing law through the lens of antidiscrimination. The course will also examine the issues that have arisen with respect to the protection of particular protected classes. The focus of the course will be for students to determine the purposes behind antidiscrimination protections applicable in different areas of law, as well as the purposes behind the protections of different groups of people. The lingering questions in the class will be to determine when and why is discrimination wrong, and does the law’s protection of discrimination in particular instances address this/these reason(s).
