In her compelling new book, The Master-Servant Doctrine: How Old Legal Rules Haunt the Modern Workplace, Oregon Law Professor Liz Tippett reveals through historical context and contemporary case studies how modern employment law and management practices remain tainted by the centuries-old “master-servant” doctrine, which gives employers significant power over workers. In this talk, Tippett will share insights relevant for advocates, legal scholars, and anyone who’s ever worked a terrible job.
Free and open to the public.
