Work Law in American Society

Written in the traditions of legal realism, law and society, and materials analysis, Work Law in American Society offers law students a paradigm-shifting introduction to the field of labor and employment law. This casebook is different from others of the genre in that it focuses on both individual and collective law and legal power in our society. Organized around the legal contests facing people who work within a democratically established market economy, this book deals with contemporary conflicts within finance-driven and internationalized divisions of social labor in increasingly multi-cultural workforces. It is meant to facilitate student speculation on the many relationships of legal practices within, and to, democracy.A teacher's manual is available.Kenneth M. Casebeer and Gary Minda is the author of 'Work Law in American Society', published 2005 under ISBN 9780890897041 and ISBN 0890897042.
