I usually don't dare to venture outside of my limited area of expertise, but a recent article about the Black Swan case reminded me that I had been meaning to talk about student interns for some time. The Black Swan matter involved a movie studio that got gigged for using unpaid interns to do work that otherwise would be done by paid employees. It should be a wake-up call for many.
I got to know the law in this area when I was teaching law full time and there would be an occasional inquiry from either a colleague or a supervisor in a proposed intern placement as to whether the Fair Labor Standards Act applied. FLSA governs minimum wages and overtime.
