PROFESSOR DAVID YAMADA is a tenured Professor of Law and founding Director of the New Workplace Institute at Suffolk University Law School in Boston.
Professor Yamada is an internationally recognized authority on the legal implications of workplace bullying. He has written leading law review articles on the topic and drafted the Healthy Workplace Bill, model anti-bullying legislation that has been introduced in over a dozen state legislatures. He has been an affiliated scholar with the Workplace Bullying Institute (www.workplacebullying.org) since 1998. His legal advocacy on workplace bullying has been covered in leading periodicals such as the New York Times, Boston Globe, and ABA Journal.
In 2007 Professor Yamada served as Chair of the Section on Labor Relations and Employment Law of the Association of American Law Schools, the primary national academic society for law professors. He is on the Editorial Board of the Employee Rights and Employment Policy Journal, a peer-review journal published by Chicago-Kent College of Law, and the Editorial Advisory Board of Perspectives on Work, published by the Labor and Employment Relations Association.
At Suffolk, Professor Yamada is a two-time recipient of the Thomas J. McMahon Award for outstanding dedication to the student body. He was the founding director of both the Rappaport Honors Program in Law and Public Policy, a highly selective, grant-funded summer fellowship program for law students attending law school in the Greater Boston area, and the SPILG Summer Public Service Fellowship Program.
A long-time civic and political activist, Professor Yamada serves on the National Board of Americans for Democratic Action (www.adaction.org), the long-time progressive policy and advocacy group. He is a graduate of LeadBoston, a professional fellowship program sponsored by the Boston Center for Community and Justice.
Professor Yamada earned his J.D. from New York University School of Law, where he was on the Journal of International Law and Politics and received the Arthur T. Vanderbilt Medal for extraordinary contributions to the law school community. Prior to joining the Suffolk faculty in 1994, he served as a coordinator of the first-year Lawyering Program at NYU and practiced at the New York Attorney General's Office and The Legal Aid Society of New York City.
