I would start with Practical Law and read some general summaries on discrimination, wage and hour laws, handbook policies, and Texas non-compete laws. The Texas Workforce Commission’s website also has some good Texas-specific information. They have this one publication called “Texas Guidebook for Employers: Especially for Texas Employers” that you can Google to find the 2022 version. It’s written predominantly for employers rather than attorneys, but I found it to be a nice introduction of certain topics. If you didn’t take employment law during law school, you could also perhaps order an employment law study book that’s intended for law students—but I think Practical Law would be a better first option.

Hi, OP! Were you able to find one? I think Practical Law would be your best option.

Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into. I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?

What do you think about the mismatch of labor and employment laws and the modern nature of our economy after the technological boom? Am I the only one who thinks (and am I crazy to think) there are some benefits to workers from the gig economy, and it might be best long term to pass new employment laws to ensure worker protections while maintaining these benefits instead of trying to shove the current gig economy back into the 1960s? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?
