You are hereby notified that you have a mandatory training session this evening. At 9:00/8:00c, you are required to tune in to your local NBC affiliate and watch the season premiere of The Office. Failure to do so could result in disciplinary action.

In my humble opinion, The Office is the world’s greatest employment law training aid. All you have to do is (1) watch it and (2) do the exact opposite of everything you see.

TONIGHT’S EPISODE. The season kicks off with an episode entitled “Gossip” which is sure to include many, many employment law violations and valuable “how not to” lessons. Click here for a sneak preview.

OFFICIAL “ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A LAWYER?” CONTEST. Tune in tomorrow to see my detailed analysis of the episodes and exactly what I would tell Dunder Mifflin if I were its lawyer. Anyone who spots an employment law issue that I missed will be entitled to a valuable prize.

Enjoy!
