We hypothesized that liberal courts' written opinions are more likely than conservative courts to focus on fairness and conservative courts are more likely to focus on validity. We also hypothesized that fairness issues are just as likely to dominate court opinions In gender as In age discrimination cases. Using LEXIS computerized search, 39 U.S. appellate court cases from 1992 to 2000 were identified for the study: 21 were heard by the 4th Circuit, 18 by the 9th Circuit; 23 were age discrimination cases and 16 were gender discrimination cases. We found support for both hypotheses. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
