The topic of unpaid interns has generated a lot of buzz in the employment law world after a flurry of recent lawsuits in which interns sought repayment under the Fair Labor Standards Act. (Our Professional Liability Matters blog discussed the issue in posts on June 25 and July 9.)

The court ruled that unpaid interns cannot sue for sexual harassment under New York City municipal civil rights laws.
