Professor Noah Zatz ‘99, University of California School of Law: Retaliation Law as Disruption Rights
Noah Zatz is professor of law & labor studies at UCLA. His research focuses on law and policy concerning low-wage and no-wage work, especially at their intersections with civil rights, public benefits, family law, immigration, and the criminal legal system. His “Get To Work or Go To Jail” project examines how threats of racialized state violence force people in the U.S. into precarious and underpaid work situations. Other ongoing projects explore the centrality of reasonable accommodation to antidiscrimination theory and the law of organizing beyond labor law. Zatz sits on the editorial board of the Law & Political Economy blog, where he also is a regular contributor. He has been faculty director of the UCLA Critical Race Studies Program, an open society fellow, a Princeton Law & Public Affairs Fellow, and a visiting professor at Yale Law School and at the University of Chicago Law School. Before entering the legal academy, Zatz worked as a Skadden Fellow at the National Employment Law Project (NELP) in New York City. Before that, he clerked for Judge Kimba M. Wood of the Southern District of New York and Judge Guido Calabresi of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
