Tortious Interference in the Employment Context: A State-by-State Survey, Third Edition provides comprehensive coverage of the issues that arise regarding competition in the employment context on a state-by-state basis in an easy to use, question-and-answer format. Two main types of actions analyzed in this reference are: where there is a contract, tortious interference with that contract; and where there is no contract or the contract is unenforceable, tortious interference with commercial relationships or with prospective economic advantage/expectancies.  

Using a uniform outline, Tortious Interference in the Employment Context examines—for each state—the elements of these two causes of action, the defenses that may be successfully raised, and the types of relief available.

The new 2011 Supplement offers expanded discussion of:  

• The elements of the cause of action
• Available defenses
• Available relief

The treatise is published in cooperation with the Employment Rights and Responsibilities Committee of the ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law. Section publications provide a balanced forum for the views and professional development of practitioners in labor and employment law.
