From a field once governed solely by the employment-at-will rule that employees have almost no rights against termination or any form of workplace treatment, labor and employment law has grown into one of the most substantial fields of federal litigation and regulation. Unionization and wage laws of the 1930s were followed by the race, 性, and age discrimination laws of the 1960s. The 1990s and 2000s have seen expansion of those laws into new areas such as disability accommodation, 家庭休假, 基因歧视, and corporate whistleblowing.  今天, labor and employment law cases “constitute an increasing fraction of the federal civil docket, now reigning as the largest single category of cases.凯文·M. 克莱蒙特 & 斯图尔特·J. Schwab, How Employment Discrimination Plaintiffs Fare in Federal Court, 1 J. 经验的腿. 螺柱. 429, 429 (2004). Employment discrimination claims alone constitute nearly 10 percent of all federal litigation.

科罗拉多州的法律 students enjoy a broad range of offerings in labor and employment law. The school offers “the big three” courses: 就业法, Employment Discrimination, and 劳动法 – annually.  None is a prerequisite to any other, and none has a waitlist thanks to 科罗拉多州的法律’s low student to faculty ratio.

科罗拉多州的法律’s range of more specialized labor/employment electives includes 就业的好处, 工人的补偿, 种族与法律, 阶级与法律, 和其他人. 科罗拉多州的法律 also offers a wide range of courses in litigation and alternative dispute resolution (the setting in which most employment disputes are resolved) that include not only advanced theoretical study, but also practical skills training in our 从实践经验中学习 课程 that help 科罗拉多州的法律 graduates hit the ground running as labor and employment lawyers.
