As a first-year student, you can choose from half a dozen electives focused on labor and employment law, from employment discrimination to labor law. Michigan Law also offers one of the only first-year clinics—the 1L Advocacy Clinic—in any law school in the United States.\n\nLater courses include topics such as unemployment insurance, disability rights, and collective bargaining. In addition to the 1L Advocacy Clinic and the Human Trafficking Clinic, we have several other clinics to choose from that touch on labor and employment law. The practical experience you will get working directly with clinical faculty and clients is invaluable to your career as a lawyer.\n\nBeyond the Law School, you can pursue a dual degree—obtaining an MBA or public policy degree along with your JD—or you can seek out externships as a student or fellowship funding after graduation.\n\n[See All Related Courses](https:\/\/michigan.law.umich.edu\/academics\/course-catalog?field_areas_of_interest_target_id_verf=6796&field_academic_term_target_id=604)\n\n[Civil Rights: Latinos and the Law](https:\/\/michigan.law.umich.edu\/courses\/civil-rights-latinos-and-law)\n\n[Collective Bargaining and Arbitration 479](https:\/\/michigan.law.umich.edu\/courses\/collective-bargaining-and-arbitration)\n\n[Ethics for Business Lawyers](https:\/\/michigan.law.umich.edu\/courses\/ethics-business-lawyers)\n\n[Impact of 9\/11 on Int'l Law](https:\/\/michigan.law.umich.edu\/courses\/impact-911-intl-law)\n\n[Labor Law 699](https:\/\/michigan.law.umich.edu\/courses\/labor-law)\n\n[Power and Social Justice in Contract Law](https:\/\/michigan.law.umich.edu\/courses\/power-and-social-justice-contract-law)\n\n[Workers' Rights Clinic: Litigation 981](https:\/\/michigan.law.umich.edu\/courses\/workers-rights-clinic-litigation)\n\n## Faculty\n[![Portrait of Elizabeth Anderson](https:\/\/michigan.law.umich.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/card_scale_width_400\/public\/2024-02\/elizabeth-anderson.png?itok=yP7102ct) Elizabeth Anderson Professor of Law (courtesy)](https:\/\/michigan.law.umich.edu\/faculty-and-scholarship\/our-faculty\/elizabeth-anderson)\n\n[![Samuel R.

As a first-year student, you can choose from half a dozen electives focused on labor and employment law, from employment discrimination to labor law. Michigan Law also offers one of the only first-year clinics—the 1L Advocacy Clinic—in any law school in the United States. Later courses include topics such as unemployment insurance, disability rights, and collective bargaining. In addition to the 1L Advocacy Clinic and the Human Trafficking Clinic, we have several other clinics to choose from that touch on labor and employment law. The practical experience you will get working directly with clinical faculty and clients is invaluable to your career as a lawyer. Beyond the Law School, you can pursue a dual degree—obtaining an MBA or public policy degree along with your JD—or you can seek out externships as a student or fellowship funding after graduation.

Readable Markdown	Labor and employment law is the law that governs the workplace—from worker organizing and collective bargaining to individual employment contracts and arbitration agreements, from problems of discrimination to questions of employee benefits. Labor and employment law will take you from challenging philosophical questions about consent, power, and participation to policy debates about the minimum wage, discrimination, and automation. Its impact touches on far-ranging legal problems that overlap with constitutional law, administrative law, statutory interpretation, torts, and contracts. Work is everywhere, so expertise in labor and employment law is in high demand. As a labor and employment lawyer, you could work with major corporations, small businesses, nonprofits, labor unions, worker centers, individual employees, state and federal governments, and more. Built on the work of renowned scholars like Theodore St. Antoine and legends of the bar like Judge Harry Edwards, Michigan Law offers a rich, diverse foundation in labor and employment law. That tradition continues today with groundbreaking Supreme Court victories in pregnancy discrimination cases to life-changing local unemployment insurance work in the era of COVID\-19. Whether you want to counsel the world’s biggest corporations on their labor and employment practices or advocate for economic justice and workers’ rights, you will find the academic rigor and practical experience you’ll need at Michigan Law. From human trafficking clinics and labs to courses on employee benefits and sports law, your education will prepare you for a career wrestling with complex domestic and international issues
