NYC Law Department, Labor and Employment Law Field Clinic Seminar

Catalog description

In the seminar, students will learn the substantive and procedural areas of Labor and Employment law. Students will learn, discuss, and explore the practical issues that arise in civil litigation, that require good judgment, persuasive written and oral advocacy, thorough investigation, ethical considerations, and careful discretion in handling clients, witnesses and adversaries. During the seminar, students will present their individual cases to review the issues they have come across, and collaborate as a group, to evaluate the judgment calls regularly faced by attorneys during litigation.
