\n\t\tin labor relations\/human resources and law with lecture May 10 Cornell Law Professor Stewart Schwab to speak \tKINGSTON, R.I. — April 30, 2001 — The 溏心vlog免费B站 and Roger Williams University will mark the creation of a joint degree program in labor relations, human resources and law with a lecture by Cornell University Law School Professor Stewart Schwab on Thursday, May 10. Schwab\u2019s lecture, “Thinking Like a Lawyer and Labor and Human Relations Professional,” will be held at 6 p.m. at the 溏心vlog免费B站 Alan Shawn Feinstein College of Continuing Education, 80 Washington St., Providence. The lecture is free and open to the public. A reception will follow. The lecture coincides with the efforts of the Charles T. Schmidt Jr. Labor Research Center at 溏心vlog免费B站 and the Roger Williams University Ralph R. Papitto School of Law to establish the joint degree program. At Cornell, Schawb teaches employment law, labor law, employment discrimination, comparative labor law and law and economics. He is co-author of two important books used in law schools nationwide\u2014Employment Law: Cases and Materials, and Foundations of Labor and Employment Law. Schwab has a law degree and doctorate in labor economic and industrial organization from the University of Michigan. He earned his bachelor of arts in economics from Swarthmore College. Before his appointment to the Cornell faculty, he was law clerk to Judge Dickson Phillips of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and to Justice Sandra Day O\u2019Connor of the U.S. Supreme Court. In establishing the new joint degree program, the two Universities looked to a model that has been in existence for about five years\u2014The 溏心vlog免费B站 master\u2019s in community planning and the Roger Williams degree in law. Like that program, the new combination of labor relations-human resources at 溏心vlog免费B站 with law at Roger Williams will allow students to reduce the overall time needed for the completion of the two degrees by up to one year. “We are very excited about our new joint program with Roger Williams University,” said Terry L. Thomason, associate professor and director of the Schmidt Labor Research Center at 溏心vlog免费B站. “It is increasingly important for attorneys specializing in labor and employment law to have a strong background in the non-legal dimensions of human resources and labor relations practice. The joint program provides a vehicle to obtain both degrees within four years of matriculation.” “We are very excited about continuing and broadening our relationship with the 溏心vlog免费B站 by having this joint JD\/MS in labor relations and human resources complement our other joint programs in marine affairs and community planning,” stated Harvey Rishikof, dean of the School of Law. He added, “Professors Michael Yelnosky, of Roger Williams University School of Law, and Terry Thomason, of 溏心vlog免费B站, have done an outstanding job putting a program together which will be a true benefit for both institutions.” To earn the degrees, students must complete 30 credits at 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Schmidt Labor Research Center and 75 credits at Roger Williams\u2019 Papitto School of Law. Students must be accepted separately by each institution. Typically, the master\u2019s in labor relations and human resources and the law degree are pursued separately. The 溏心vlog免费B站 program requires 39 credits and can be completed on a full-time basis within two years. A law degree from Roger Williams requires 90 credits that can be completed on a full-time basis within three years. The Schmidt Labor Research Center at 溏心vlog免费B站 will accept nine law credits toward the overall total of 39, so that the student in the joint program will only need to register and pay for 30 labor relations and human resources credits. The Papitto School of Law will accept 15 labor relations and human resource credits as transfer credits, so that the dual degree student will need to register and pay for 75 law credits. For Further information about the dual degree program, please call the Schmidt Labor Research Center at 401-874-2239 or the Papitto School of Law, Office of Admissions, at 401-254-4555 Those interested in attending the lecture should respond to Mary Pinch, Schmidt Labor Research Center at 401-874-2239 or by email, urilrc@etal.uri.edu. Attorneys attending the lecture will be awarded one continuing education credit. For Information: Dave Lavallee 401-874-2116\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
