Andrew Elmore is a professor and Barreca Labor Relations Scholar at Boston University School of Law. His research focuses on the failure of the state to effectively regulate low-wage workplaces and the efforts of worker movements to generate new legal frameworks to protect workers’ rights and reduce bargaining power inequality. Before becoming a professor, Elmore practiced law for over a decade, beginning at the Legal Aid Society in New York City, where he developed an employment law practice representing immigrant, low-wage workers. Later, as a section chief in the New York Office of the Attorney General, he led and supervised investigations of systemic violations of employment and employment discrimination laws. Elmore holds a JD from UCLA and a BA from Swarthmore College.
