2. FEMINIST LEGAL THEORY READINGS IN LAW AND GENDER - KATHERINE T. BARTLETT AND ROSANNE KENNEDY

What makes this new theory so important is the far-reaching challenge it poses to the assumptions embedded in traditional legal doctrine and method as well as the light it sheds on how these assumptions so consistently undercut efforts toward fundamental gender change. Feminist legal theory also suggests how feminist practice might move toward strategies capable of fostering more effective reform.

3. FREEDOMS LAW: THE MORAL READING OF THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION - RONALD DWORKIN

Ronald Dworkin argues that Americans have been systematically misled about what their Constitution is, and how judges decide what it means. The Constitution, he observes, grants individual rights in extremely abstract terms. The First Amendment prohibits the passing of laws that "abridge the freedom of speech"; the Fifth Amendment insists on "due process of law"; and the Fourteenth Amendment demands "equal protection of the laws" for all persons.
