SHRM articles and Bloomberg’s labor newsletter will help you see trending issues too. Congrats on joining the most fun practice area that is by far the most human!

Some SHRM articles are free but most everything I’ve wanted to view that seems helpful requires having a paid membership. If you have a firm account with Bloomberg I think you’ll be able to view the L&E updates.

If lit, the employment discrimination examples & explanations book was very helpful and digestible (I just lateraled to L&E from commercial lit)

like

Which book is that?

Lit or transactional? Big law or boutique or ID?

You're welcome!
