For this assignment, you should find three to five articles that discuss a current issue in Employment Law.  Appropriate sources include The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Forbes, Fortune, among others.  The issue should touch on an area we have discussed in class.  Some suggestions for topics include:  1) recent cases of sexual harassment;  2) developments in sexual orientation discrimination;  3) recent class actions in employment law;  4) recent and/or pending Supreme Court decisions addressing employment law (e.g. labor law, class actions, affirmative action);  5) voluntary affirmative action plans; 6) gender issues in the workplace; 7) recent issue of disability law.  This list is not exhaustive.
The paper should be 3-4 pages long, double-spaced.  About 2/3 of the paper should be a general discussion of the current issue, including a discussion of the applicable law, how the law is being interpreted, and whether reform of the applicable law is proposed or is needed.  If there is any debate surrounding the law, describe the various positions on the issues.  The bulk of the paper should be descriptive; however, the remaining 1/3 of the paper should be analytical:  is the law good or bad?  What, if anything, should be changed about the law?  Do the courts, administrative agencies/government do a good job in interpreting and enforcing the law?
Please include a bibliography.
