Cases and Materials on Employment Discrimination and Employment Law (American Casebook Series) - Tapa dura

Tracking the field as it is practiced by employment lawyers on both the plaintiff and defense sides, this casebook provides a one-semester treatment of the full range of employment discrimination laws as well as the core subjects of an employment law offering. Coverage includes the following: laws designed to protect individuals from discriminatory employment decisions; the extent to which the law prevents employers from retaliating against employees for filing claims, reporting misdeeds or other activity that our society highly values or seeks to protect; the common law of the employment relationship; the enactment of wage-hour, pension and other "minimum terms" laws to establish regulatory floors for private negotiation of employment contracts; and the procedural design of regulatory systems, including in-depth consideration of class actions, preemption and arbitration issues. It has been updated with all recent leading cases, newly enacted statutes, including the ADAAA, and integration of recently completed and membership-approved chapters of the Restatement of Employment Law on employment contract, employment torts and employee duties. PowerPoint Slides are available to adopting professors.
