The School of Law’s Legal Theory Workshop continues with Georgetown Law Professor Nina Pillard, who will lecture on “(Re)inventing Work Law in a Transnational Context: Voluntary Codes of Conduct in Multinational Supply Chains” on Monday, November 22 in the law school’s faculty meeting room. The workshop begins at 12:30 p.m., with lunch served at noon.

Pillard joined the Georgetown law faculty in 1997 after a decade as an accomplished litigator. She teaches civil procedure, constitutional law, American and transnational legal theory, and various labor and employment courses. Her current research interests include the constitutional and statutory law of equality with a focus on employment and law in a transnational context.

Shortly after joining the Georgetown faculty, Pillard took a leave in 1998-2000 to work in the Department of Justice under President Clinton as deputy assistant attorney general, Office of Legal Counsel. Pillard’s Supreme Court work, both before and during her time at Georgetown, includes more than 25 cases that she has briefed and eight that she has argued before the Court, including the path-marking Nevada v. Hibbs, sustaining the Family and Medical Leave Act against constitutional challenge, and Green Tree v. Bazzle, opening the way for plaintiffs to proceed as a class in mandatory arbitration.

There is limited seating for this event. To attend, RSVP to Detra Davis Fleming at [email protected].
