COURSE: INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE EMPLOYMENT LAW (Course 288 - Section 001)

For the first class on Thursday, January 19, I would like you to:

1. Enroll on TWEN.
2. Think about what you would like to cover this semester. The materials, which I will post on TWEN, cover International Labor Law (including the International Labour Organization, European Union, the NAFTA labor side agreement and using U.S. courts to enforce international labor standards), plus the national labor laws of nine countries: The U.S., Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, China, Japan and India. We won't be able to cover all of this, so prioritize what you want to study.
3. Think about ways to be evaluated. Since there will be no exam, some options might include: group projects, individual research papers, journals plus a shorter paper, or other means that you might propose. Whatever we choose, it will entail substantial writing and a presentation to the class at the end of the semester.
    
   See you then,
    
   Mike Zimmer
