Andrew Langille | York University (original) (raw)
I am a Toronto based litigation lawyer who practices primarily in the areas of employment, administrative, human rights law, and tax law. Additionally, I teach in the Work and Labour Studies program at York University. I hold a B.A. in Sociology and Political Science from the University of Guelph, a LL.B. from the University of Windsor, and a LL.M. from Osgoode Hall Law School.
My research focuses on the legal regulation of the school-to-labour market transition, unpaid internships, the impacts of technology on workplace law, critical youth theory, equality rights and age discrimination, and the emergence of transnational movements centred around addressing precarious work.
