Faculty comments
: Professor Shin: This course examines the doctrines and principles of the
federal law governing discrimination in employment, as set forth in Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities
Act. The goals of the course are to achieve familiarity with the prevailing doctrinal frameworks
for applying these statutes and an understanding of the broader theories and principles
underlying those frameworks. Classes will involve a mix of lecture and volunteer-based
discussion. Course grade will be based on an open-book, take-home final examination and class
participation.
Professor Yamada: The course grade is based on (1) a take-home exam; and (2) a term paper,
which may be used to fulfill the upper level writing requirement.
