We provided refreshments in the form of water, charcuterie, and other snacks through the school's catering.
Join Maurer's American Constitution Society, Public Interest Law Foundation, Plaintiff's Law Association, and FedSoc for a conversation on what public employees can and cannot say with speaker Frank LaMonte.
Rules and policies that forbid public employees from speaking about their work are pervasive across all levels of government, from Cabinet-level agencies down to the smallest local school district. While commonplace, these restrictions exist under a dark cloud of constitutional doubt. Decades worth of First Amendment caselaw establishes that public employers cannot gag their employees from sharing information and expertise gathered at work. What rights do public-sector workers have, where do First Amendment freedoms give way to employers’ authority to maintain order, and how is the public affected when government employees are restrained from speaking freely?
Join WashU Law’s ACS chapter, partnering with the Labor and Employment Law Society, for a conversation with Professor Pauline Kim, a nationally recognized scholar in employment law. Professor Kim will discuss her research and teaching on workplace protections, anti-discrimination law, and the ways employment law shapes the lives of workers across industries. The program will highlight both doctrinal developments and the practical implications for lawyers interested in careers in labor and employment law. Lunch will be served.
