Support:Supreme court documents, these are provided to reference Civil Rights decisions, with links provided to amendments and recent court decisions.This is helpful in recognizing step-by-step lawmaking, and seeing where the original law was not working and needed to be amended.
Source Analysis:The website is provided for the public to access, but is designed as a learning tool for Cornell Law students.It is funded by the Law school and by donations.As there are links to lawyers dealing with particular parts of the law, I am assuming some of those lawyers are funding the site as well.
Usefulness:This site is fairly useful to me as it provides Supreme Court decisions on anti-discrimination, and adds links to recent decisions.It is interesting to follow the progression of laws and see what did not work and needed to be amended.The audience is Cornell Law students, but the text is written in layman’s terms and is easy to follow.I can’t see that anything was left out of their coverage.
Works Cited:Civil Rights Decisions led me to http://www.law.cornell.edu/.Within that site I found the LII and link to Employment Discrimnation
