Employment Law: Private Ordering and Its Limitations is organized around the rights and duties that flow between parties in an employment relationship. Cases, detailed discussion of the facts, and accessible notes and questions examine the laws that are intended to balance the competing interests and contractual obligations between employer and employee. Problem exercises encourage students to think creatively about how best to protect the interests of workers or employers. Practitioner exercises in planning, drafting, advising, and negotiating develop transactional lawyering skills.

The Second Edition constitutes a thorough updating and revision that continues to build lawyering skills and a solid doctrinal foundation. New problems have been added that expand active learning opportunities throughout the book.
