Discrimination Cases In The Supreme Court’S 1998 Term, Eileen Kaufman
Scholarly Works
In the Supreme Court's 1997 Term, the Supreme Court had decided a record number of statutory discrimination cases.

Numerous other interesting decisions were rendered that, although not creating any bold new law, either affirmed trends in past cases, or illustrated important practical implications for generally predicting judicial outcomes given certain fact patterns.
