Third Annual Colloquium on Current Scholarship in Labor & Employment Law
October 23-25, 2008
Co-hosted by University of San Diego School of Law, California Western School of Law, and Thomas Jefferson School of Law, the annual colloquium has become an eagerly anticipated forum for American labor and employment law scholars to present and obtain feedback on works-in-progress.
Keynote Speaker: Harry Arthurs
University Professor Harry Arthurs has also been the former Dean of Osgoode Hall Law School (1972-77), President of York University (1985-92), and an academic visitor at Oxford, Cambridge and University College, London. He has served as commissioner reviewing Canada’s labor 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, labor 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 labor law.
Arthurs has been an arbitrator and mediator in labor disputes, has conducted inquiries and reviews at Canadian and American universities, and has provided advice to governments on a number of issues ranging from higher education policy to labor and employment law. He has also served as a bencher of the Law Society of Upper Canada, member of the Economic Council of Canada and president of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.
