Law - Employment Law

Catalog description

A study of state and federal regulation of the employer-employee relationship. This course will introduce students to several employment law subjects that arise in the workplace, including, among others: worker classifications, the at-will employment doctrine and exceptions to it, wage and hour protections, tort liability issues in employment, speech protections for employees, and restraints on trade. This course will not cover traditional labor law or employment discrimination law (both of which are addressed by other classes at the law school).
