Labor and Employment Law Institute to discuss tech, the gig economy
For more than 30 years, the Brandeis School of Law has been proud to offer the Warns-Render Labor and Employment Law Institute.
This year, the institute will be June 15-16 and will feature Paul Grossman as keynote speaker.
Grossman is nationally recognized as the co-author of the treatise Employment Discrimination Law.
“It’s the first place that most attorneys go when faced with an employment discrimination issue,” says Professor Ariana Levinson, who is an expert in labor and employment law and organizes the institute.
The institute features a range of other exciting speakers including representatives from the National Labor Relations Board, the U.S. Department of Labor, United Steelworkers and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Also on the agenda is Zev Eigen, a nationally recognized expert in both labor and employment law and data analytics and social science research.
Eigen divides his work into three categories: predictive analytics using artificial intelligence as applied to HR and related business decisions, statistical analysis and econometric modeling of issues arising out of class actions and pattern and practice matters and statistical analysis of labor, employment and HR-related data.
At Warns-Render, he will be presenting “Big Data: Using Data Analytics to Make Personnel Decisions.”
“The ways that analytics are used in hiring and personnel decisions are amazing … and I don’t think attorneys are aware of it as they should be,” says Levinson. “To me, that’s really cutting-edge and that’s something that’s going to have a big impact.”
Another hot topic in labor and employment law is the expanding gig economy.
Professor Michael Z. Green, of Texas A&M University School of Law, and Patricia Smith, of the National Employment Law Project, will address this area in their presentation, “Gig Economy & Issues of Leased and Temporary Employees.”
The Warns-Render Labor and Employment Law Institute offers 13.5 CLE hours from the Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio bar associations, including two hours satisfying the Kentucky ethics requirement.
