Employment Law Committee
The Employment Law Committee applies the expertise of MLRC member firms regarding libel, privacy and related claims to the employment context, where such claims frequently appear in wrongful termination and related lawsuits.
With the help of more than 80 law firms throughout the country, the committee oversees preparation of MLRC’s annual 50-State Survey of Employment Libel and Privacy Law, and periodically provides columns in the MLRC MediaLawLetter on current topics relating to libel and privacy in the workplace.
