Coleman v. Maryland Court of Appeals - Post-Argument SCOTUScast
Running Time: 00:20:21
On January 11, 2012, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Coleman v. Maryland Court of Appeals. The question before the Court is whether Congress, in passing the “self-care” provision of the Family and Medical Leave Act, validly abrogated the Eleventh Amendment sovereign immunity of states. Under the self-care provision, a state worker may sue if the state interferes with the worker’s statutory right to a certain amount of leave due to a personal, debilitating health condition.
To discuss the case, we have Elizabeth Price Foley, who is a Professor at the Florida International University School of Law.
