Street Law
I visited a high school class in the District of Columbia this morning to speak with students about employment law as part of Georgetown University's Street Law program. We talked about illegal (discriminatory) questions on job applications and about basic wage and hour law (such as time and a half for overtime). The topic most hotly debated by the students was whether an employer could require them to pay for their own uniforms. (Answer: not in the District of Columbia). I am very much looking forward to going back next week. The program is run with the assistance of the District of Columbia's Employment Justice Center.
