COVID-19 may have changed work forever.

 

The pandemic disrupted the global economy and turned the practice of law upside down. However, the pandemic’s impact was not felt evenly across all demographic groups and economic sectors. Please join us on Friday, April 16, 2021, via Zoom, for the Idaho Critical Legal Studies Spring Symposium, “The Future of Work in a Post-Pandemic America.” Employment and labor law scholars and practitioners will address how 2020 affected essential workers, workers of color, and women, while also recognizing the intersectional inequality faced by workers who are members of two or more of these groups.

 

Professor Charlotte Garden of the Seattle University School of Law will give the symposium’s keynote address. A full schedule is available below.

Join the University at Buffalo Law ACS team! At this second general interest meeting of the year, we'll be talking to you about what our Chapter does and how you can (and should!) join our team -- especially as our Board elections are right around the corner! We encourage anyone, of any year, to run for one of the Board positions. If you're considering running, we will talk through what that looks like and be here to answer any questions you may have about being on the Board. If you are interested in becoming a member and want to learn more, this session can help with that. The rest of our time will be devoted to talking about hot topics of the month, in our third and final Law-te Hour.

Join the NYU Law ACS Student Chapter for a chance to hear about the Department of Justice under the Biden administration! What does the new composition of the DOJ mean for the pursuit of progressive policy? How will a DOJ led by Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, and Vanita Gupta impact enforcement decisions? What institutional, legal, and political limitations do actors within the DOJ face in their ability to shape enforcement? What limits should there be? Our expert panel will tackle these questions and their implications for voting, hate crimes, racial justice, and other pressing civil rights issues.

Panelists:

• Taryn Merkl, Senior Counsel at NYU's Brennan Center
• Roy Austin, VP of Civil Rights and Deputy General Counsel at Facebook

Moderated by:

• Julie Fernandes, Associate Director at Rockefeller Family Fund
