Students will undertake a historical, legal, and policy-based analysis of the laws and policies regulating human reproduction, with an emphasis on Supreme Court jurisprudence and current legislative efforts to both expand and curtail reproductive rights. Particular attention will be paid to the interplay between the branches of government when crafting, implementing, and interpreting laws regulating reproduction. Topics will include the development of privacy law; legislative and judicial efforts to balance privacy rights and other freedoms, such as religious freedom and freedom of speech; and the enactment and interpretation of laws relating to reproduction and the workplace (Title VII, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Family Medical Leave Act). |
