    This sophomore writing seminar engages in a critical, in-depth study of the way in which people with disabilities and the disability experience are represented in an array of interdisciplinary texts, with particular emphasis on the legal tradition and interpretations. Drawing from a variety of historical as well as contemporary texts and documents, we will explore the implications of disability in culture and policy, particularly as they impact ideas of citizenship and rights, primarily in the United States, but also globally.  We will examine the history of disability law, looking closely at a number of Supreme Court cases and decisions. We will additionally allow for an intensive focus on the development of critical thought and reasoning in both oral and written communication.

  • Instruction Mode: In Person
    This course examines the experiences of workers attempting to navigate the labor standards enforcement bureaucracy. We begin by reviewing the conditions of post-industrial labor in an era of declining unionization and weak federal and state protections. Next we review theories of legal consciousness and legal mobilization, which help explain the conditions under which low-wage workers learn about their rights and come forward to demand justice. We walk through claimsmaking in an array of federal and state administrative bureaucracies, including wage and hour, health and safety, and discrimination. We also look at how the immigration enforcement regime intersects with the tenets of at-will employment to grant employers wide latitude in retaliating against undocumented workers and stifling attempts at legal mobilization. We next assess how these formal protections are filtered through various institutional gatekeepers (including legal advocates and medical experts) and how organizational compliance structures such as human resources and mediation programs) have limited worker’s ability to make claims on their rights. We consider how intersecting bases of inequality (such as gender, race, and national origin) are processed by administrative bureaucracies, and how lay versus legal conceptions of workplace justice often diverge. We end by considering the fallout of workplace abuse on individuals and their families.

    • Aug 21 - Dec 4, 2023
    • Zhang, Y

  • Instruction Mode: In Person
    This course studies the law’s governance of care work. The care economy supplies basic needs for individuals and provides the human infrastructure for society. Care work often happens outside the traditional workplace and/or the formal labor market. Beyond the market, the family and the state also play essential roles in providing and paying for care. As a result, care work—paid, unpaid, or underpaid—raises challenging questions for and beyond employment and labor law. How does the law compensate, regulate, and evaluate care work? How does the law allocate the responsibility and costs of care? How does the relationship between the provider and receiver of care and/or the caregiver’s identities (gender/race/immigration status) affect the law’s treatment of the care work? To explore these questions, we will examine legal institutions across the bodies of employment and labor law, family law, welfare law, and immigration law. The course will predominantly focus on the United States. As a writing seminar, this course will develop the student’s analytical writing capability through a series of writing assignments designed to break down the writing process into discernable steps, culminating in a longer paper on a topic relevant to this course. This process will include writing reaction papers, composing a paper proposal, participating in the incubator and work-in-progress workshops, revising the written works, and receiving feedback from the Professor throughout the process.

    Class will meet online on Sept 12, Sept 19, Oct 3 and Oct 17. This class will examine how labor relations takes place in the hospitality industry with a focus on issues that have surfaced in the relationship between the Hyatt Corporation and UNITE-HERE. Both the history of labor relations in the hospitality sector and general labor relations analytic concepts will set the context for examination of recent issues with a focus on three cases including a work rule grievance dispute and a recent collective bargaining dispute that involved a strike action. Note, Michael D’Angelo worked for a union-side law firm for several years before joining Hyatt and he will draw from his experience as a union advocate to help clarify union and worker interests in the three case disputes. Students will engage in role playing exercises involving the two cases described above with access to both management-side and union perspectives and materials. Michael D’Angelo, through his role as head of corporate VP of Labor Relations at Hyatt, will help provide access to background information on all three cases supplemented by information that appeared in news reports and other documents.

    This interactive seminar course will provide a practical overview of the legal issues for employers and employees in contemplating, litigating, prosecuting, and/or defending sexual harassment cases in the wake of the #MeToo movement. In doing so, the course will take students through the life cycle of sexual harassment/assault case from the initial interview of a potential client through trial and/or arbitration. This course will utilize a fact pattern of a fictitious sexual harassment/assault case to present students with the opportunity to advocate for their client throughout the entirety of the litigation process. An initial case packet will be provided and as the course proceeds, supplemental information about the case will be periodically provided to reflect developments in the case as it progresses through pre-litigation negotiations, litigation, and trial. Students will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge of previously covered course material to this evolving hypothetical case.

    This advanced seminar examines the emerging field of transnational labour law, by addressing how transnational law has been theorized since Philip Jessup and Wilfred Jenks. It will consider the transnational implications of labour law’s specificity – setting the conditions under which people can temporarily sell their labour power in market relations. It will centre the conditions necessary for democracy at work. The topics include some of the most significant challenges facing the governance of labour, transnationally, and interrogate the role of international labour law and labour law actors in relation to each: slavery and the law, sustainable development and just transitions, corporate social responsibility and due diligence, labour migration, trade regulation, airline labour law, care work, and workplace equality.

    This interactive seminar course will provide a practical overview of the legal issues for employers and employees in contemplating, litigating, prosecuting, and/or defending sexual harassment cases in the wake of the #MeToo movement. In doing so, the course will take students through the life cycle of sexual harassment/assault case from the initial interview of a potential client through trial and/or arbitration. This course will utilize a fact pattern of a fictitious sexual harassment/assault case to present students with the opportunity to advocate for their client throughout the entirety of the litigation process. An initial case packet will be provided and as the course proceeds, supplemental information about the case will be periodically provided to reflect developments in the case as it progresses through pre-litigation negotiations, litigation, and trial. Students will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge of previously covered course material to this evolving hypothetical case.
