Labor lawyers—who are they? What do they do? How do they obtain their jobs? What advice do they have to offer law students who want to specialize in labor as a field of practice?

All of these questions are raised and explored in this description of labor law practice, one of the numerous and diverse specialities available to law school graduates Those choosing labor law—which is grounded in the dynamics of employer-employee relationships—will enter a field that affects the entire worker population. From a formalized agreement between a labor union and its employer managers to an informal agreement of employment between an individual and the owner of a small business, labor attorneys are closely involved as advisors and as representatives for all the individuals concerned. Labor law is thus a very special area of practice that requires many skills, specific legal knowledge, and great personal sensitivity to people and their interactions.


This article series introduces students to the practice of labor law through the experiences and advice of labor attorneys. The attorneys surveyed and profiled here were asked to share their educational backgrounds, advice to students about the most valuable elective law school courses, job experiences, optimum career paths, and their views of future trends in job availability for new attorneys. Responses came from practitioners working in a variety of settings, including private practice attorneys representing union or management interests, in-house corporate or in-house union attorneys, government lawyers, arbitrators and mediators, as well as attorneys from diverse geographic locations.

Students and practitioners should use this article series to explore the career opportunities in the field of labor law practice. It is not meant to be an explanation or discussion of labor law as a substantive area of the law.
