Committees
The Section's committees offer members the opportunity to meet and work with colleagues experienced in the committee's area of concentration and, when appropriate, with government policy makers and regulators.
Committee Spotlight
Federal Legislative Developments Committee
The committee performs an informational and communication function for the members of the Section. Committee members write quarterly articles for The Labor Lawyer describing in some detail the major federal legislative proposals in the labor and employment law area, including employee benefits, with attention to their status and their substantive provisions. The committee also sends out periodic alerts to Section members describing recently enacted legislation which is of particular interest to the members and their clients. The committee chairs are examining ways to strengthen and perhaps formalize areas such as EEO and employee benefits.
The Flash has been called the ABA Labor and Employment Law Section's bulletin board: it carries a regular message from the Chair and a monthly update of Section news and events plus hot topics in the field of Labor and Employment Law.
