Employment Law: Private Ordering and Its Limitations, by Timothy Glynn, Charles Sullivan, Charlotte Alexander, and Rachel Arnow-Richman, is organized around the rights and duties that flow between parties in an employment relationship. Cases, detailed discussion of the facts, and accessible notes and problems examine the laws that are intended to balance the competing interests and contractual obligations of employers and employees. The note materials also encourage students to think critically and creatively about how best to protect the interests of workers or employers. Exercises in planning, drafting, advising, and negotiating develop practice-ready transactional lawyering skills.

In addition, he supervises the law school’s six live healthcare compliance certificate programs in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Professor Glynn's scholarship focuses on enforcement mechanisms in employment and corporate law, the allocation of decision making authority and legal accountability within the corporation, and the impact of enterprise structures on legal protections and legal compliance.
