Conference discusses constitutional law, labor and employment law

The intersection of constitutional law and labor and employment law will be examined in a conference at the University of Wisconsin Law School on Oct. 28-29.

Called “The Constitutionalization of Labor and Employment Law?” the event will explore whether constitutional law concepts are infiltrating public and private employment and labor law and whether the development is beneficial or detrimental to the rights of workers.

Some of the top names in the United States in constitutional, labor, employment and employment discrimination law will participate in this symposium. Speakers include Mark Tushnet of Harvard Law School; Dan Kahan of Yale Law School; Samuel Estreicher of New York University Law School; Ken Dau-Schmidt of Indiana University Mauer School of Law; and Kermit Roosevelt of the University of Pennsylvania Law School. These and the other participating scholars will produce an exceptional volume of articles on an increasingly important topic for Wisconsin and the United States.

Panelists and moderators from the UW Law School faculty include professors Carin Clauss, David Schwartz, Anuj Desai, Brad Snyder, and visiting professor Paul Secunda.

Conference registration costs $260 and up to 12 hours of continuing legal education credit have been approved in Wisconsin and up to 10 hours in Illinois.
