Courses
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN EMPLOYMENT LAW WORKSHOP, LAWS 811 (3 hours) This course explores the practical as well as the legal problems presented by the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) to resolve employment contracts through arbitration, and the use of arbitration to resolve statutory issues such as claims of employment discrimination. There will be some consideration of other forms of ADR, such as mediation, fact-finding, and peer-review systems.
INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYMENT LAW, LAWS 630 (3 hours) In the wake of the recent decline in unionization, state courts and state and federal legislatures have increased regulation of employment relationships. The new regulations consist of a mixture of contract, tort, criminal, and administrative law. This course explores those developments. It will cover most aspects of the employment relationship not covered in labor law, employment discrimination, and Worker’s Compensation. In particular, statutory and common law rules governing the establishment and termination of employment relationship and regulating the conditions of employment will be examined.
LABOR LAW, LAWS 620 (3 hours) Labor law deals with the federal law governing labor relations. After an initial historical survey of the development of American labor law, the course considers the statutory and decisional rules applicable to establishment of the collective bargaining relationship and the negotiation and enforcement of collective bargaining agreements. Policy considerations bearing on legal doctrine form a major part of the course.
