A quick definition of employer–employee relationship:

An employer-employee relationship is when someone works for another person or company and the employer has the right to control how the employee does their job. This relationship is important because it affects the legal rights and responsibilities of both the employer and employee. Other types of relationships include doctor-patient, attorney-client, and parent-child relationships, each with their own unique duties and responsibilities.

A more thorough explanation:

An employer-employee relationship is a legal association between a person who hires another person to perform services and the person who is hired. The employer has the right to control the physical conduct of the employee during the course of their work. This relationship was previously known as "master-servant" in common law, but the term "employer-employee" is now more commonly used.

For example, when a company hires an individual to work for them, an employer-employee relationship is established. The employer has the right to control the employee's work and can give them instructions on how to perform their duties. The employee, in turn, is obligated to follow the employer's instructions and perform their duties to the best of their ability.

Other examples of legal relationships include:

  • Attorney-Client Relationship: A formal legal representation of a person by a lawyer. The lawyer has a duty to act in the best interest of their client.
  • Doctor-Patient Relationship: The association between a medical provider and one who is being diagnosed or treated. The doctor has a duty to ensure that the patient gives informed consent for treatment.
  • Parent-Child Relationship: The association between an adult and a minor in the adult's care, especially an offspring or an adoptee. The adult has a high duty of care, including the duties to support, rescue, supervise and control, and educate.
  • Professional Relationship: An association that involves one person's reliance on the other person's specialized training. Examples include one's relationship with a lawyer, doctor, insurer, banker, and the like.

These relationships have legal implications and impose certain duties and responsibilities on the parties involved.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
