Modern Employment Law in Time and Place

At-Will Employment

Much of my research has concerned the precarity of at-will employment. You can find the published articles:

• The Anti-Republican Origins of the At-Will Doctrine (Winner of 2020 Brophy Prize for Best Legal History Article)
• Where Is The Concept of Good Faith in the Restatement of Employment?
• Coercion in At-Will Termination of Employment and Sexual Harassment
• The Proposed Restatement of Employment Law at Midpoint
• Working Group on Chapter 2 of the Proposed Restatement of Employment Law: Employment Contracts: Termination

How Covid is Changing Employment Law

Employment Law responds to major upheavals, and this year, due to the pandemic, we saw that happen in real time.  This is a White Paper produced by compiling research from the students in my Fall 2020 Employment Law course.  Because the rate of change so dynamic, and so profound it is straining the systems of legal ordering.  We share this White Paper with practicing lawyers, industry leaders, workers’ groups, and policy makers to demonstrate the breadth of change in the overall picture of the world of work.
