The American Bar Association’s Section of Labor and Employment
Law
The American Bar Association’s Section of Labor and Employment
Law has 22,000 members, including union attorneys, plaintiffs’ attorneys,
employers’ attorneys, and law students. Unique among ABA entities,
it operates under a rule of consensus so that there has to be broad agreement
among attorneys of different practice orientations before the Section
can take action. The Section has 21 standing Committees corresponding
to practice areas, in addition to administrative committees such as the
Continuing Legal Education Committee.
More information can be found through the Section’s web page, www.abanet.org/labor/home.html.
ABA members can join the Section through this page.
If you are an attorney practicing in the area of labor and employment
law, you should be a member of the Section and its committees corresponding
to your practice area. The Section, and the professional and personal
friendships it fosters, are an excellent means to find out how the “other
side” thinks, helping members reach “win-win” solutions
to disputes and helping them reach better results in litigation.
Committee papers present balanced, high-quality presentations on most
of the hot topics in the field of labor and employment law. Discounts
on high-quality treatises more than pay for membership in the ABA and
the Section.
If you are an attorney but are not an ABA member, or if you work in
the field of labor and employment law but are not an attorney, you can
join the ABA and the Section at www.abanet.org/join/.
