VOLUME XX, NUMBER 1, FALL 1991 SECTION OF LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT LAW OF THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION 750 NORTH LAKE SHORE DRIVE, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60611 minority Law Student Summer Intern Program Earlier this year, the Council appointed Max Zimny and Christopher Barreca to serve as co-chairs of a newly created Section Out-Reach Committee. Its mandate is to develop methods to reach out to mi- nority lawyers and students on behalf of the Sec- tion. The committee has proposed a minority law stu- dent summer intern program, which was approved by the Council at its summer meeting in Atlanta. The proposal is designed to stimulate the interest of minority law students in the field of labor and employment law by creating summer employment opportunities for first- and second-year minority law students attending ABA-approved law schools. The committee envisions that commitments would be obtained for a substantial number of la- bor and employment law summer legal positions in One of the most important duties of the Chair is to coordinate the program for the Annual Meeting. Mindful of that, the first planning session for the 1992 Annual Meeting in San Francisco was held while the Atlanta Annual Meeting was still in progress. Mark your calendars for August 10-12, 1992. Future newsletters will provide more details. During the coming year our Section will continue to focus on legal education of our members. We have two Na- tional Institutes scheduled; new treatises are underway concerning such diverse areas as international labor law and the Railway Labor Act; and work is proceeding on the compan- ion casebook to the labor arbiration advocates text- book, the third edition of Developing Labor Law and the third edition of Employment Discrimina- tion Law, as well as several supplements to our pub- lications. Of course, the excellent treatise Employee Benefits Law was just published in August. As Chair, during the coming year, one of my goals is to increase Section members' participation on committees. We are all very busy and have many law firms, corporations, and unions for the summer of 1992. Minority students in the upper one-third of their class would be invited to apply for partic- ipation in the program and selections would be made based upon class standing, faculty recom- mendations, experience and interest. The committee co-chairs plan to visit with the deans of approximately twenty ABA-approved law schools to obtain their agreement and interest in participating in this program. Section members in- terested in providing employment opportunities for this program should contact the committee co- chairs: Christopher A. Barreca, General Electric Company, W3D, 3135 Easton Turnpike, Fairfield, CT 06431; and Max Zimny, International Ladies Garment Workers' Union, 1710 Broadway, New York, NY 10019. U claims on our time, but I would urge you to at least try a committee assignment, attend a Midwinter Meeting, participate in a program, or draft a sec- tion of a supplement. It's all professionally and per- sonally satisfying. For example, many of us are looking forward to attending the twentieth Mid- winter Meeting of the Development of the Law Un- der the National Labor Relations Act Committee in 1992. I attended the first one in 1972 and have found participation in that committee very reward- ing. Those who actively participate in other com- mittees have had the same experience. If you aren't a committee member now, drop me a note with your committee preference; we'll assign you and put you in touch with the committee co-chairs. If you are already a committee member, contact your co- chairs and participate. One of the most exciting aspects of our field is the ever-changing law. (When the unread advance sheets pile up, we sometimes think that a less in- teresting area of the law may be attractive after all!) The changes are not slowing down either; on Au- gust 8, 199 1, the Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, at their 100th annual meeting, adopted the Model Employment Termination Act after four years' work. This model act, if enacted by the individual states, (continued on page 7) Copyright © 1991 American Bar Association Produced by the ABA Press
