The Impact of 2008 Supreme Court Employment Law Cases is an authoritative, insider's perspective on recent noteworthy Supreme Court cases and their impact on employment law. Featuring partners and chairs from some of the nation's leading law firms, these experts analyze this area of law as it has developed over the course of the past year through the lens of Supreme Court cases such as LaRue v. DeWolff, Boberg & Assocs., Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. v. Glenn, and Meacham v. Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory. These top lawyers discuss what changed and what didn't change as a result of these key cases and others, and offer their thoughts on what these cases imply in terms of broader policy and procedural trends. From outlining case details and disagreements in lower courts to discussing the impact of specific decisions on the employment attorney's practice, these authors provide an in-depth analysis of these cases within the context of economics and politics, as well as discuss what areas may be taken up by the Supreme Court over the next few years. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to success within this ever-evolving field.
