2010/2011 ANNUAL REPORT:

This Section conducted seminars in Frederick and Salisbury on the Maryland statute prohibiting employment discrimination. It continued to publish a quarterly newsletter that keeps members abreast of legal developments in Maryland, in federal courts, and in administrative agencies. The Section, for the first time in its history, endorsed a bill in the Maryland General Assembly that would restore the tax treatment of compensatory damages to the status quo prior to 1996 when such damages became taxable unless they result from physical injury (compensatory damages in employment cases occur most often in the absence of physical injury). Its annual dinner featured a discussion of social media’s impact on employment law issues, and the Section will present a program on wrongful discharge at the MSBA Annual Meeting.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the Section is to bring together for the furtherance of their mutual interest members of the MSBA concerned with the law relating to the employer/employee relationship, and in improvements and reforms in such law through legislation or otherwise, and generally to promote the interest and welfare of the public and members of the Bar in the area of labor and employment law.

The Section sponsors programs throughout the year covering topics of general interest to labor and employment lawyers.
