This volume of the proceedings of the 2008 conference contains papers presented at that meeting, all here updated to reflect recent developments, as well as additional contributions from other practitioners and academics with extensive knowledge and experience in the field. Experts from both the practicing bar and academia – twenty-seven in all – use their unique strengths to address issues worthy of concern in each juridical realm. Among the many important topics presented and discussed are the following: application of international law "soft norms" through domestic legal systems; jurisdictional issues in employee benefits; extraterritorial application of the U.S. Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA); impact of the application of international human rights standards to employment issues; drafting of specific types of employment agreements in a multijurisdictional context; obstacles to cross-border enforcement of restrictive covenants; how U.S. securities law affects global stock option plans; workplace electronic privacy issues; publicly mandated social benefits; effect of both immigrant and non-immigrant visas on high-skill workers; how bilateral labor agreements can solve transnational immigration problems; codes of business conduct; role of labor rights in foreign direct investment; application of anti-discrimination laws to religious discrimination across jurisdictions; and whistleblower protection.
