Burdens Of Pleading And Proof In Discrimination Cases: Toward A Theory Of Procedural Justice, Robert Belton

Vanderbilt Law Review

If the national policy of eliminating discrimination is to be achieved, the courts--to whom the major responsibility for effectuating this goal is delegated--must establish a coherent framework for allocating the burdens of pleading and proof that provides "a sensible, orderly way to evaluate the evidence in light of common experience as it bears on the critical question of discrimination."' The purpose of this Article, therefore, is to propose such a coherent approach to the allocation of the burdens of pleading and proof in discrimination cases. Towards this end, part II of the Article examines the definitional and operational effect of …

The Proper Role Of Res Judicata And Collateral Estoppel In Title Vii Suits, Charles C. Jackson, John H. Matheson, Thomas J. Pikorski

Michigan Law Review

The Article proceeds from the premise, established in Part I, that federal courts must apply preclusion principles unless Congress clearly indicates otherwise. Part II considers a number of indicators of Congress's intent, and finds no evidence to rebut the presumption that federal courts must give preclusive weight to certain state decisions. Part III then proposes general guidelines for the application of preclusion doctrines in title VII litigation.

Compensatory Damages In Federal Fair Housing Cases, Robert G. Schwemm

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

The federal fair housing laws became effective in 1968. Since then, courts have often awarded damages to victims of housing discrimination, but their decisions have provided little guidance for assessing the amount of such awards. There is a great range of awards, with some courts awarding only nominal damages of $1 and others setting awards of over $20,000. Compounding the problem is the difficulty of measuring the principal element of damages claimed by most plaintiffs in fair housing cases, noneconomic emotional harm or other forms of intangible injury.

Rarely is the basis for the amount of the court's award satisfactorily …

Employment Discrimination, Susan A. Cahoon

Mercer Law Review

During 1980, the Fifth Circuit again had a full docket of employment discrimination cases. For the most part, the cases tended to turn on the particular facts at issue, and there were few pronouncements by the court of broader significance. An en banc court did decide an important question about limiting communications in class actions, and a panel of the court considered for the first time, whether there is an implied private cause of action to sue for discrimination against the handicapped under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Fifth Circuit also continued to follow a unique …

Garcia V. Gloor: Mutable Characteristics Rationale Extended To National Origin Discrimination, Dwight J. Davis

Mercer Law Review

In Garcia v. Gloor, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district court ruling that an employer's policy requiring employees to speak only English while at work did not violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibition against national origin discrimination. In so ruling, the court extended the mutable-immutable characteristics rationale that the Fifth Circuit first outlined in Willingham v. Macon Telegraph Publishing Co.

The Bloodless Revolution: The Role Of The Fifth Circuit In The Integration Of The Deep South, Frank T. Read

Mercer Law Review

On October 1, 1981, the nation's foremost civil rights tribunal will be no more. On that date, the Fifth Circuit Reorganization Act will become effective and the famous United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit will be divided into two new circuits.' With the passing of the Fifth Circuit into history's dusty pages, it is appropriate to reflect on the contributions of that court in this nation's monumental struggle to desegregate the public schools of the Deep South.

On May 17, 1954, the United States Supreme Court, in its most important decision in this century, rejected the "separate …

Pregnancy And Hiring Discrimination, April L. Dowler

West Virginia Law Review

The employer looks over the application on his desk. The applicant has the right educational requirements; her references are impressive; she has experience which would greatly benefit her in the position. She looks like a good prospect. The employer buzzes his secretary and requests that the applicant be shown to his office for an interview. As the applicant enters the room he rises to meet her. Half way out of his chair he stops. Printed on the front of the woman's shirt are the letters B-A-B-Y with an arrow pointing down to the slight bulge at the woman's stomach. Politely …

Sex Discrimination: Theories And Defenses Under Title Vii And Burwell V. Eastern Airlines, Inc., Debra G. Archer

West Virginia Law Review

Following the enactment of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 dealing with equal opportunity and employment discrimination, there arose a large body of case-law litigating Title VII issues and a large body of articles dissecting the cases and issues. Within this area, different methods for proving Title VII violations and different types of defenses developed. Almost inevitably, confusion arose concerning the applicability of specific defenses to specific types of Title VII violations. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals attempted to resolve some of this confusion in a sex discrimination case captioned Burwell v. Eastern Airlines, Inc. In …
