We finished another unit, which means that there’s another podcast: Law to be applied

Here is the audio version of the summaries I posted on TWEN a week or so ago:
We will finish homicide tomorrow, but note that we will not start causation until next Tuesday: homicide and causation

We have already covered three units of material in federal courts, and our practice problem is set for about two weeks from today. So it’s time to update my links to the podcasts for those units. I’ve made the written versions for these three available on TWEN. Feel free to take a look at them to review what we have studied so far.
I also have had several conversations with people about how challenging this material is. These cases and the subject matter are tough. And our work in class focuses on synthesizing rules and applying them to difficult factual scenarios the way you will have to in practice. That’s a skill that no one is born with. Don’t be afraid to look to sources that have synthesized the material for you–don’t do it instead of reading the cases because then you might not understand or be able to use the rules as well. You may notice that some of that synthesis and explanation comes after the cases in our textbook. Don’t be afraid to look at that first before you read the cases–even if it’s not assigned in a particular day’s reading. Additionally, I can’t recommend Erwin Chemerinsky’s treatise on Federal Jurisdiction highly enough. It’s on reserve in the library. It’s much easier to read and makes more sense of everything than almost anyone else I’ve ever read.
That said, here are the summaries I’ve prepared for you. Let me know if you need me to cover anything in more detail or if you have questions.

This is one of my favorite topics in employment law. We should have talked about it in employment discrimination, too.

I posted the script for harassment awhile ago, and just now posted the script for retaliation, too. I haven’t shown you the recordings, though. Here they are:

Finally, I got the disparate treatment podcast re-recorded: Disparate treatment
Mar 5th, 2013 by Marcia McCormick
I finally put up the disparate treatment and disparate impact podcast scripts on TWEN. Unfortunately, as I was drafting this post, I accidentally deleted the disparate treatment audio. So here is the audio for Disparate Impact. I’ll re-record disparate treatment and get it up in the next few days.
