Selected Topics in Employment Law

LAW 680-01	Selected Topics in Employment Law Seminar	2 credits
This seminar will focus on gender-related issues in the contemporary workplace. Among the topics to be examined will be sexual harassment and sex discrimination, office dating policies and other gender-related privacy issues, gender pay equity, pregnancy and parenting issues at work, workplace sexual stereotyping, dress and appearance issues, and gender-specific employment. The course's orientation will be more practical than theoretical, with emphasis on real-world fact patterns and challenges viewed from the problem-solving perspective of a working employment law attorney. Students will be graded on their class participation and two writing assignments: an advocacy paper and a client advice memorandum.
