labor law
Let an agent explain labour law and its main areas, relay national systems, international standards and history from legal and academic sources, describe debates with attribution, and distinguish labour law from social security law, contract law and employment practice, without giving personal legal advice.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
