Conkright Amicus Brief
One of the Supreme Court's labor and employment cases this term is Conkright v. Frommert, which addresses the question of whether a court must continue to give deference to a plan administrator's interpretation of a pension plan after the first interpretation has been found to be arbitrary and capricious under Firestone.
Our very own Paul Secunda, along with eight other professors, have just filed an amicus brief in the case on behalf of the respondents/employees (go here to download Law Professors' Conkright Amicus Brief in Support of Respondents).
Should be an interesting case, so stay tuned.
