Download or read book Sexual Identity Law in Context written by Shannon Gilreath and published by West Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book puts the law concerning lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people into a social context. The result is that students better understand the law by understanding the social issues underlying the legalities. Material providing background discussion (law review articles, journal articles from other disciplines, journalism, history, science, philosophy, traditional prose, and comparative law materials) supplements cases that involve all major aspects of sexual identity law. The book provides a detailed course designed for an upper-level law school seminar, but introductory explanation provided for major legal concepts makes it suitable for beginning students as well.
