Alternatives To Challenged Employee Selection Criteria: The Significance Of Nonstatistical Evidence In Disparate Impact Cases Under Title Vii, Julia C. Lamber
Alternatives To Challenged Employee Selection Criteria: The Significance Of Nonstatistical Evidence In Disparate Impact Cases Under Title Vii, Julia C. Lamber
Articles by Maurer Faculty
In contrast to most recent commentary and a superficial reading of Supreme Court cases, Professor Lamber rehabilitates the concept of a distinct disparate impact theory under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. She examines one important evidentiary question-the significance of alternative employee section criteria-to expose underlying policy questions often buried in technical questions of form. Others have argued that the Supreme Court's apparent analytical and evidentiary alignment of disparate impact and disparate treatment cases shows that Title VII bars only "intentional discrimination" and thus the purpose of alternatives evidence is quite limited. Professor Lamber presents a different view, …

Obscene Telephone Calls: An Introduction To The Reading Of Statutes, Reed Dickerson
Obscene Telephone Calls: An Introduction To The Reading Of Statutes, Reed Dickerson
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Members of the legal profession continually confront problems of statutory interpretation. Unfortunately, most lawyers have been inadequately trained to read and to draft statutes, resulting in poorly reasoned judicial decisions and policy choices.
In this Article, Professor Dickerson explores common problems associated with statutory interpretation. In exploring these problems, he describes the cognitive process involved in reading a statute and the large fund of tacit assumptions that condition this process. Through a case study analysis, he suggests a method of approaching problems of statutory interpretation.

Crossing Boundaries: Nineteenth-Century Domestic Relations Law And The Merger Of Family And Legal History, Michael Grossberg
Crossing Boundaries: Nineteenth-Century Domestic Relations Law And The Merger Of Family And Legal History, Michael Grossberg
Articles by Maurer Faculty
This essay argues for the need to study the legal history of the American family. It does so by combining a critique of secondary literature in family and legal history with examples from nineteenth-century domestic relations law. These examples, drawn from family law doctrines on seduction under the cover of a marriage promise, runaway marriages, and bastardy, are used to indicate the benefits of adding a sociocultural dimension to legal history and legal and institutional dimensions to family history. Three main themes in the history of nineteenth-century domestic relations law are developed to make these points: the law's particular fabric …
Law And Language: The Role Of Pragmatics In Statutory Interpretation, M. B.W. Sinclair
Law And Language: The Role Of Pragmatics In Statutory Interpretation, M. B.W. Sinclair
Articles by Maurer Faculty
In everyday conversation social conventions constrain our speech and aid understanding of the speech of others. These social conventions have been analyzed by the philosopher H.P. Grice and others. Professor Sinclair explores the applicability of such conventions to statutes and thereby derives a set of pragmatic rules of statutory construction. These rules explain some of the intuitions underlying "canons of construction" and their limitations and provide a basis for understanding and for criticizing some important judicial decisions.
