Labor law touches daily life more than most legal fields: every paycheck, every shift, every workplace rule is shaped by it. Yet the rules we use are often decades old. Courts and agencies debate the definition of “employee.” Legislatures experiment with rules for noncompetes, wage theft, and workplace surveillance. Strikes and union drives test the reach of federal protections, while globalization and technology reshape work in ways the drafters of mid-century labor statutes could not have imagined.

For our Fall 2025 symposium, the Trojan Review asks: how should employment law adapt to the realities of today’s workplace? We invite undergraduate students to explore questions at the intersection of work, rights, and policy. A strong law review note might examine classification battles over gig workers, analyze Supreme Court decisions affecting arbitration and collective action, or trace how antidiscrimination law responds to remote work and algorithmic hiring. Whatever the angle, the goal is to grapple with employment law not as a fixed framework, but as a work in progress.
