This course uses the CaseFile Method. Each day will involve the use of a new case file, prepared by a “partner” along with supplemental materials from a “paralegal.” The file will include facts and issues, as well as the key cases and other supporting materials.
This method has been chosen because I believe it is the best method to provide knowledge about the basics of labor and employment law as well as the skills you must have to be an effective lawyer (i.e., make your knowledge useful). As an added benefit, the materials are an extremely cost effective way to reach the course goals. The materials for each segment of the course, (1) Employment Law and (2) Labor Law, are available online at the CaseFile Method web site (click on the links below). The materials are $12.95 for each segment of the course (i.e., $12.95 for Labor Law and $12.95 for Employment Law).

The CaseFile Method web site states: “Please note, you may use the first three CaseFiles in any category free of charge. Upon purchase, your account will be enabled to access the appropriate CaseFiles. Due to the nature of the CaseFile Method, we cannot offer refunds for purchased CaseFiles.” As such, if you are not sure you will stay in the course, you may review the first three case files at no cost, while you determine whether you wish to remain in the course.
I will also provide additional reading assignments throughout the term to supplement the case files. This may include newspaper articles, law review articles, and other writings related to the issues we are discussing. These materials will be from sources available to you at no cost.
