Harvard Law School is a center of expertise and action in the fields of employment law, which defines the relationships between individual employers and employees, and labor law, which defines protections for workers when they act collectively, such as in unions. Students have the opportunity to learn from leading scholars, practitioners, government officials, and labor advocates about the laws that govern the quickly evolving experience of work.
