Ball, Schacter, and NeJaime's Cases and Materials on Sexuality, Gender Identity, and the Law, 8th

This casebook on the law of sexual orientation and gender identity weaves interdisciplinary perspectives into its up-to-date coverage of a rapidly changing legal landscape. It provides comprehensive coverage of the range of legal issues concerning LGBTQ persons, along with scholarly commentary on these issues. It also covers issues of sexuality and gender more broadly. It addresses in depth many recent Supreme Court decisions, including United States v. Skrmetti, Mahmoud v. Taylor, 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, and Bostock v. Clayton County. The book extensively covers the range of federal and state laws targeting transgender individuals, from barriers to healthcare access and participation in athletics to identity documents and sex-segregated facilities, and includes appellate decisions that consider these laws. The book also addresses the growing number of legal challenges implicating sexual orientation discrimination, from “conversion therapy” bans to educational policies to parenting rights to exemptions from antidiscrimination laws, and includes appellate decisions on these topics.
