Additional nondiscrimination rights that arise under the U.S. Constitution and some state human rights laws are also explored. Like prior editions, this edition features many recent cases and new federal statutes, as well as diverse contemporary scholarship drawn from critical race theory, feminist legal theory, history, social science, and law and economics, among other disciplines. The authors’ extensive materials framing the cases are designed to prepare students thoroughly for practice in this rapidly changing field of law.

The law of work has evolved as a patchwork of legal interventions in the labor market, sometimes by statute, and sometimes through the common law of judicial decisions. Most law school curricula divide the law of work into three topical areas―Labor Law, Employment Law, and Employment Discrimination―and offer separate courses in each area. Labor law in the United States is understood to encompass the study of the National Labor Relations Act, the law governing union organizing and collective bargaining. It is the law of collective rights at work. Employment law refers to the statutes and common law governing individual rights at work. It ranges from minimum standards legislation to judicially created doctrines based in tort and contract law. Employment discrimination law deals with the statutes and interpretative case law advancing the antidiscrimination norm in the workplace. These statutes address the problem of status discrimination at work (e.g., discrimination on the basis of race, sex, national origin, ethnicity, religion, disability, or sexual orientation). 
This book offers a comprehensive view of the law governing the work relationship by touching on all three topical areas. The book treats individual employment rights in depth, and is most appropriate for an Employment Law course or a broad survey course. The book also adverts to Labor Law principles at a number of points, at a policy level rather than a doctrinal level, as a way of introducing and evaluating an alternative model of employee representation; the book does not assume any knowledge of Labor Law on the part of teacher or student and makes no effort to provide a satisfactory substitute for a Labor Law text. The book offers some detail in the law of Employment Discrimination but does so primarily with an eye toward surveying the field and assessing antidiscrimination regulation as a response to an increasingly diverse workforce, rather than providing an in-depth study of Employment Discrimination principles. 
The fourth edition of Work Law: Cases and Materials incorporates new developments in a variety of areas: A new case, Cotter v. Lyft, on the boundaries of the employment relationship in the context of the gig economy; A new case on promissory estoppel as a limit on employment-at-will, Cocchiara v. Lithia Motors, Inc.; New cases on nonsolicitation agreements (Bankers Life & Casualty Co. v. American Senior Benefits) and the duty of loyalty (Salas v. Total Air Services); Expanded materials reflecting recent developments in the use of electronic monitoring and data analytics in the workplace; Updated coverage and a new problem on public employee speech in the internet age; Updated coverage of legal issues surrounding employee voice under the NLRA, including the social media case Triple Play Sports Bar & Grille, and treatment of the impact of the Labor Board's decision in Boeing, Inc. on employer restrictions on collective action; A new disability discrimination case, Hostettler v. College of Wooster, on reasonable accommodation; Coverage of the #MeToo movement and its implications, and discussion of race-specific hiring in the context of the musical Hamilton; Streamlined and updated treatment of the Fair Labor Standards Act, including a new case on the status of interns and trainees, Benjamin v. B&H Educ. Inc., and updated materials on overtime pay eligibility; and Updated materials on arbitration of employment disputes, including Roe v. SFBSC Management, a new unconscionability case involving erotic dancers, and the Court's treatment of pre-dispute waivers of class claims in Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis.

The second edition of Civil Rights Litigation retains the basic organization and many distinctive features of the first edition, including its broad coverage and diversity of viewpoints. Authors Brooks, Carrasco, and Selmi expose students to many different forms of discrimination, including education, housing, employment, voting, disability, language, police activities, and affirmative action. The book’s opening chapter offers a historic overview of civil rights litigation and raises several recurring themes in civil rights theory, including race versus class, the identity question, civil rights perspectives, and "anti-civil rights" perspectives. Each of the remaining nine chapters opens with an overview of the relevant social environment and applicable laws. As in the first edition, cases are presented with a minimum amount of editing to facilitate sophisticated class discussion or role-playing in which students argue the cases in class. 
Principal changes in the second edition include the usual updating of cases and secondary material as well as the restructuring of sections in several chapters. The section on civil rights perspectives in Chapter 1 has been reorganized to reflect recent clarifications in critical theory as well as the development of a new civil rights theory called "limited separation." The cases and materials have been restructured in several sections. 
Perhaps the most significant change has been the addition of a new co-author, Professor Michael Selmi, who replaces Judge Gordon Martin. Like Judge Martin, Professor Selmi brings both legal expertise and a different perspective to this unique collaboration. 
A teacher's manual is also available, and 2003 supplement is forthcoming.
