Discrimination against protected classes in employment is clearly illegal, but what protections exist for volunteers? What constitutes a benefit that should trigger employment law protections? Can intangible benefits be enough to trigger Title VII protections? Can an organization refuse to accept donations in a discriminatory manner? Do some volunteer organizations, such as volunteer fire departments, perform such important tasks that society should not permit them to discriminate even if they would be permitted to otherwise?
The article discussed was: Joseph D. Greenhalgh, I Didn't Volunteer for This: A Solution for Protection Volunteers from Discrimination in Massachusetts. 39 W. New Eng. L. Rev. 177 (2016).

Eliminating Constitutional Law
In this episode, Tony discusses Eliminativism with Professor Evan Bernick from NIU. Does constitutional law actually exist? Do constitutional decisionmakers need to have a theory of law in order to choose a constitutional theory? Does whether something is law carry moral weight? How does a judge or other decision maker make decisions when presented with an unjust law? Also, is twitter going to be the new way to submit law review articles?
The article discussed is: Evan D. Bernick, Eliminating Constitutional Law, South Dakota Law Review (Forthcoming).
