  Spring 2015

U.C. Davis Journal of International Law and Policy, Vol. 21, No. 2, Spring 2015

 

 

 

 

 

 

Partner [Paul Rosenthal](/Our-People/Paul-C-Rosenthal) co-authored the *U.C. Davis Journal of International Law and Policy* article ​“Applying the Law of Child Labor in Agricultural Supply Chains: A Realistic Approach.” The article summarizes some of the laws and regulations governing child labor in agricultural supply chains. The discussion focuses on the unique challenges within small-holder farm settings, contrasted with those in plantations or industrial workplaces. They relate the challenges to the King Canute legend and maintain that realism and humility in addressing the problems of child labor are necessary to achieve long term success in tackling this complex problem.
