ERISA Litigation, Third Edition provides complete discussions of the context and development of heavily litigated areas in this fast growing area of the law, including analysis of cutting-edge problem areas such as privacy, contingent workers, managed care, and RICO. This treatise effectively cuts through the complexities of ERISA law so that practitioners can quickly pinpoint the key issues and identify the most effective strategies to aid their clients in bringing or defending an ERISA lawsuit. It also contains useful reference tools, such as tables, charts, checklists, digest numbers for BNA's Employee Benefits Cases, an ERISA-U.S. Code Conversion List, a table of ERISA Sections, a table of cases, and a subject index.
The Third Edition covers cases decided through 2007, previews dozens of significant 2008 court cases, and provides up-to-date analysis of complex areas of ERISA, as well as discussing a number of important Supreme Court decisions that affect benefits, including MetLife v. Glenn, Beck v. PACE Int'l Union, Kentucky Retirement System v. EEOC, and others. The Third Edition significantly revises and updates the prior edition, particularly chapters on remedies, the appropriate standard of review in benefits cases, managed care litigation, exhaustion of internal remedies, attorneys' fees, proper parties, fiduciary status, and 401(k)/employer securities litigation. Contributing authors participate with chapters relevant to their practice areas.
The 2010 Cumulative Supplement examines the latest Supreme Court cases, including:
- Conkright v Frommert, on abuse of discretion
- Hardt v. Reliance Standard Life Insurance Co., on attorneys' fees under ERISA
- Gross v. FBL Financial Services, Inc., on burden of proof under the ADEA
