DU hosted the 2nd Annual Colloquium on Current Scholarship in Labor and Employment Law
July 21, 2008
The University of Denver Sturm College of Law, together with the University of Colorado Law School, hosted the 2007 Colloquium on Current Scholarship in Labor and Employment Law.
The Colloquium started at Marquette Law School in 2006 as a response to the perceived need for a forum in which scholars in this field could share and receive feedback on their work. The 2006 Colloquium was a success, both for the event and for DU. Five DU Employment Law faculty presented at that event. As a result of this impressive showing, we were able to persuade the conference organizers to allow us to host the Second Annual Colloquium in September 2007.
The 2007 Colloquium at DU was a resounding success, drawing roughly 80 labor and employment scholars from around the country and throughout the world (as far away as Melbourne, Australia). A number of local employment lawyers joined, as well. Roughly 65 papers were presented over two days, including presentations by DU Professors Rachel Arnow-Richman, Christine Cimini, Roberto Corrada, Marty Katz, and Nantiya Ruan. All were well-received.
A schedule of presentations, abstracts of the presentations, and other information about the Colloquium, is available at http://www.colorado.edu/law/laborandemployment/.
