In doing so, students might draft a complaint or answer, write an appellate brief or argue orally in front of a panel of students and experts in the field of Labor Law or Employment Discrimination. The materials will developed by Professor Lally-Green with the assistance of experienced labor law and employment discrimination law practitioners. The course will be a seminar course with a limit of 12 students. The prerequisite for the course is Employment Discrimination. Labor Law is not a requirement; however, it is strongly advised that the student take that course also.
