Conference Overview:
The anxiously awaited annual colloquium has become a highly regarded environment for scholars of American labor and employment law to present and obtain constructive feedback from colleagues on works-in-progress.
We are honored to welcome Professor Harry Arthurs as Keynote Speaker. Arthurs is University Professor at Osgoode Hall, York University in Toronto Canada. Professor Arthurs is the former dean of Osgoode Hall. He has served as the Commissioner reviewing Canada's labour standards legislation (2004-2006) and as Commissioner reviewing Ontario's pension legislation (2006-2008). Arthurs’ publications range widely over the areas of legal education and the legal profession, legal history and legal theory, labour and administrative law, globalization and - in recent years - constitutionalism. His academic contributions have been recognized by his election as an Associate of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy. In 2002, he was awarded the Canada Council’s Killam Prize for his lifetime contributions to the social sciences as well as the Bora Laskin Prize for his contributions to labour law.
