The purpose of this course is to examine the laws concerning Labor Law and Employment Discrimination and to study current issues that intertwine both areas of the law. All of the employment discrimination laws impose enormous duties on unions. Yet, little attention is given to the unique problems that unions face in their efforts to comply with these laws. The problem method of study is intended to be utilized. After the relevant law has been examined in the first part of the course, the class will examine real-life problems. 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.
