Product Description

This comprehensive, two-day program provides a basic introduction to employment and labor law for the lawyer new or returning to the field. Each day features lectures by experienced practitioners designed to teach you the statutes, case law, and practice pointers, followed by interactive sessions that reinforce your knowledge by giving you hands-on experience.
