PROFESSOR PRINCE’S SCHOLARSHIP FEATURED ON STANFORD PROFESSOR’S BUSINESS SCHOLARSHIP PODCAST
May 2021 — Professor Samantha Prince recently joined Professor Andrew Jennings, who is a Lecturer in Law for Stanford Law’s Corporate Governance & Practice program, to discuss her forthcoming article entitled “The AB5 Experiment — Should States Adopt California’s Worker Classification Law?” on the Business Scholarship Podcast. During the podcast, Professor Prince discussed the high stakes involved for workers, employers, and governments in classifying workers as employees or independent contractors.
In her article and during the podcast conversation, Professor Prince presented a case study of California’s new classification law, AB5, and successive rounds of political pushback and the revisions such pushback has prompted. This case study, Professor Prince explained, exemplifies experimental federalism, and offers valuable insight for policymakers in other states.
