I am excited to announce that the University of Wisconsin Law School (where I am visiting this semester) is presenting a labor law conference that I am co-organizing with Professor Carin Clauss. The conference will be held on October 27th and 28th in Madison and is entitled: The Constitutionalization of Labor and Employment Law?
The five panels of the conference are divided into separate areas of constitutional law, including: (1) Freedom of Speech; (2) Freedom of Association; (3) Equal Protection; (4) The 13th Amendment; and (5) Workplace Privacy under the Fourth Amendment.
Panelists include: Cheryl Harris (UCLA); Sophia Lee (Penn); Marcia McCormick (St. Louis); Susan Carle (American); Maria Ontiveros (San Francisco); Jim Pope (Rutgers-Newark); George Rutherglen (Virginia); Julie Chi-hye Suk (Cardozo); Lea Vandervelde (Iowa); Leonard Bierman (Texas A&M); Rafael Gely (Missouri); Susan Freiwald (San Francisco); Pauline Kim (Wash U); Marty Malin (Chicago-Kent); Roy Adams (McMaster (Canada)); Ken Dau-Schmidt (Indiana); Sam Estreicher (NYU); Mark Tushnet (Harvard); Scott Bauries (Kentucky); Mike Harper (BU); Dan Kahan (Yale); Kim Roosevelt (Penn); and Randy Kozel (Notre Dame).
It is a great collection of speakers and I hope many of you can come. There is special registration for full-time members of academia. For more information about registration and other information, please check out the conference web page.
