An Essential Read! Professor Emily Spieler's tour de force Rutgers University Law Review Article on Workers' Compensation

            Professor Emily Spieler (Northeastern University School of Law), the renowned expert on workers’ compensation law and insurance, has authored a sweeping new article addressing the program, in which she highlights its controversies and explains – and assails – the retractions of the last few decades.

            For the reader new to workers' compensation, Spieler’s article is a crash-course relative to the history, purposes, and controversies, past and present, which have surrounded the field. For the old hand, meanwhile, the author’s insights, whether one agrees with them or not, will awaken myriad new reflections relative to the program. 

            Her article is Emily A. Spieler, (Re)assessing the Grand Bargain: Compensation for Work Injuries in the United States, 1900-2017, 69 Rutgers University Law Review 891 (2017).
