practicelaw.org
Our practicelaw.org web site is a wonderful resource for Section members. Practicelaw.org is a free research tool for members, which contains an electronic version of the section's newsletter with the added benefit of links to cases and statutes referenced in the newsletter articles. In addition to the newsletter, practicelaw.org has other outlines on a variety of topics also with links to the law, as well as forms and sample pleadings. It is very well-organized and user friendly. If you haven't done so already, please try practicelaw.org and let us know what you think.

Labor & Employment Law News
The Section’s valuable newsletter, Labor & Employment Law News, contains summaries of new state and federal labor and employment statutes, developments at the NLRB and EEOC, and summaries of recent Minnesota and federal case law in a broad range of labor and employment-related topics. Many local attorneys contribute well-written surveys and summaries to make this newsletter thorough, complete, and accurate. Subscriptions are free with Section membership. The summaries are published on practicelaw.org in the Employment Library, and subscribers are notified via e-mail when new updates are available.

Outreach/Recruitment
Through surveys and meetings, the Labor and Employment Law Section reaches out to a diverse range of attorneys to encourage their involvement in the Section’s programs and activities.

Liaison with Courts, Legislature and Agencies
The Labor and Employment Law Section is a source of information and input between practitioners on the one hand, and state courts, federal courts, legislatures, the National Labor Relations Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights on the other hand.

Diversity
The Section strives to include a broad range of participants representing diversity in practice, geography, gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, etc. While the Section has an excellent record of broad participation in its activities and governance, it continually strives for improvement in these efforts. The Section works primarily through ongoing committees reporting to its governing council.
