The Center for WorkLife Law ("WorkLife Law" or "WLL") is a non-partisan research and advocacy group[1] housed at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, California.[2] WorkLife Law seeks to advance gender and racial equality[3] at work and in higher education[4] through practical initiatives. WLL staff advocate for changes in policies[5] that discriminate against women and people of color and create research-based, actionable tools for companies and individuals to use to address discrimination[6] in their workplaces and schools. WLL has many initiatives and programs to target different types of discrimination, including those focused on pregnancy,[7][8] breast-feeding,[9] and caregiving[10] discrimination. WLL was founded in 1998 and is currently led by Joan C. Williams.
