Sexuality, Gender, and the Law (University Casebook Series)

Sexuality, Gender, and the Law (University Casebook Series)
This casebook offers law professors and students a doctrinally comprehensive, theoretically ambitious, and up-to-date exploration of the treatment of sexuality and gender in American public law. The Fourth Edition extends the historically grounded first chapter from the Third Edition â€“ establishing the three primary doctrinal strands of liberty, equality, and expression â€“ through the end of the twentieth century. The second chapter focuses on the turning points that now define the field:
- The post-Roe â€œundue burdenâ€ standard as it has evolved from Planned Parenthood v. Casey to Whole Womanâ€™s Health v. Hellerstadt;
- The elimination of criminal laws against sexual conduct based on morality in Lawrence v. Texas and queries as to the reach of that principle; and
- The legalization of same-sex marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges.
Discrimination against women and against trans- and non-binary persons is highlighted throughout the book, from the historical chapter through the most contemporary disputes in workplace and family law. The bookâ€™s distinctive chapter on the theoretical debates that underlay the field contains more coverage of intersectional and trans-influenced thinking, and a new chapter focuses on the conflict between equality and religious liberty claims, which increasingly dominate in both LGBT and reproductive rights cases. With Professor Courtney Joslin of UC-Davis Law School joining as a new co-author, Sexuality, Gender, and the Law continues to provide both the most comprehensive and deepest coverage of this dynamic field.
