Employment Law Research [ONLINE]

This session will provide legal instruction in the practice area of employment law. Attendees will gain an understanding of the various aspects related to this sector, including contracts of employment, recruitment, and unfair dismissal. The training will highlight specific resources available for case law, legislation, and current awareness research in employment law. In addition, attendees will work through a scenario to learn about the process and procedures related to employment tribunals.

The first part of the presentation will provide a background to this area of law and include demonstrations of searching for materials on commercial databases and freely available resources. The second half of the presentation will focus on a scenario, which will be provided in advance. There will be a 30-minute guided group discussion about the legal principles and procedures involved in the scenario.

With the remaining 30 minutes of the QS, attendees will be put into breakout rooms and given an opportunity to ask working barristers in the field questions about this area of law.
