2009 Workshop: New Directions in Labor and Employment Law

Workplace Theory & Policy Workshop: New Directions in Labor and Employment Law critically examined the regulation of employment and other forms of work, labor markets and other work-related institutions, and their relationship to other important components of social justice. Prominent legal scholars – and one historian – came to the Law School to present their work on labor and employment law (including employment discrimination law).
