PART B - 15 points

In your position at a public interest law organization, you have been asked to research the topic of federal and state protections for farm and other outdoor workers from the health impacts of heat exposure. Your supervisor suggested it would be valuable for you to become informed about the legal and policy issues surrounding this topic. She would also like to you brief her on what you find out. You know nothing about this topic, and you suspect that it could involve a number of areas of law.

Due to cost concerns, you have been asked to limit your access to commercial databases for this project. (Students, this limitation applies to Part B only.) You should conduct your research using free Internet resources as much as possible.

a. Select and cite four sources that, taken together, provide a current, authoritative, and comprehensive overview of the topic, including the issues involved and the present state of federal and state (including but not limited to Maryland) primary law. For each source, describe where and how you located it (include search terms you used and any new terms you incorporated as you searched); how you evaluated it for reliability and usefulness; and why you chose to include it in the list.
