American Law Institute - Restatement of Employment Law

Update (5/25): The Membership of the ALI approved all of Chapter 3 and the privacy sections of Chapter 7 (not the autonomy provisions which were not under consideration) on a voice vote.  This leaves two chapters left before the Restatement is complete: Chapter 4 (concerning certain tort issues) and Chapter 9 (concerning employment law remedies).

The 89th Annual Meeting of the American Law Institute (ALI) is going on in Washington D.C. over the nex three days.  Worklaw profs joining me here include: Cyndi Nance (Arkansas), Miriam Cherry (Saint Louis), Mike Zimmer (Seton Hall), Larry Rosenthal (N. Kentucky), Matt Bodie (Saint Louis/Notre Dame), Alan Hyde (Rutgers-Newark), and Charlie Sullivan (Seton Hall).

Of particular note, tomorrow the ALI membership will take up Chapters 3 and 7 of the Restatement of Employment Law. Chapter 3, penned by Sam Estreicher (NYU), concerns compensation and benefit issues, while Chapter 7 (written by Matt Bodie) concerns privacy and autonomy interests in the workplace (although only the privacy sections will be taken up tomorrow). 

Needless to say, for those of us in attendance, it should be a lively and spirited debate tomorrow over these Chapters.
