Paul Secunda moving to Marquette
December 31, 2007 by Ross Runkel at LawMemo
Sincere congratulations to Paul Secunda upon his decision to accept a law teaching position at Marquette University Law School, effective the 2008-2009 school year. He is currently Jessie D. Puckett, Jr. Lecturer and Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Mississippi School of Law.
Professor Secunda joined The University of Mississippi School of Law Faculty in the summer of 2002. He teaches employment law, employment discrimination law, employee benefits, labor law, civil procedure, school law, higher education law, and special education law.
Professor Secunda's recent articles appear in the UCLA Law Review, Wisconsin Law Review, Colorado Law Review, U.C. Davis Law Review, Florida State University Law Review, Villanova Law Review, Kentucky Law Review, Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy, and the Comparative Labor Law & Policy Journal. He is also the author, along with Professors Rick Bales and Jeff Hirsch, of the treatise, Understanding Employment Law, and, along with Sam Estreicher, of the forthcoming case book, Global Issues in Employee Benefits Law.
His legal scholarship primarily focuses on the civil liberties and civil rights of employees, with a focus on public employee speech, privacy, and associational issues. He has also written on innovative remedial approaches to group employment discrimination claims and the dynamics of administrative agency adjudication in the labor law context. His current project concerns the lack of employee benefit protection for employee participants under ERISA’s remedial and preemption scheme.
Professor Secunda is the current national Chair of the AALS Section on Employment Discrimination Law. He co-edits with Rick Bales and Jeffrey Hirsch the Workplace Prof Blog, which is part of the Law Professors Blog Network. He moderates the empdiscr listserv, the AALS-sponsored email discussion group of employment discrimination law professors in the United States. Professor Secunda is also a Research Fellow at the NYU School of Law's Center for Labor and Employment Law.
Professor Secunda serves as a special education mediator for the State of Mississippi's Office of Special Education and as a public arbitrator for FINRA. He is also a frequent commentator on labor and employment law issues in the national media and has written columns for the National Law Journal and Legal Times.
As one of his Ole Miss colleagues said in an email this morning: "Paul has been a wonderful classroom teacher, a phenomenal published scholar, and a good colleague."
