Stephen Rosenberg on LinkedIn: What Would Shakespeare Say About Offering Bitcoin in 401(k) Plans? |… (2024)

Great article on whether to use six person juries in Massachusetts state court trials Marc Diller. I will say what bothers me about it when I read the entire article is the reliance on anecdotes and the views of a few trial lawyers. I am an evidence-based person, even - perhaps especially - with regard to the social sciences, and I would love to see some sort of rigorous analysis of whether, and if so how, six person versus twelve person juries can be expected to alter outcomes, if at all.

Reposting to my network, as some may have an interest in this.

Terrific comments Paul Secunda and thanks for sharing the article.

I got a kick out of this post, partly because it is interesting in and of itself but also because it references the dying of the tradition of "handing the [business] card to that would-be client." I recently met two financial industry executives from England at a conference who work in an overlapping field with my practice - they focus on distribution of mutual fund products in retirement plans. They got a good chuckle out of my giving them a card as we parted, noting they would just find me on Google if they needed me.

Some events have really long tails. I was still trying business disputes arising from the 2008 financial crash in 2013 and still handling appeals from those disputes two years later. The pandemic is no different, particularly when it comes to the insurance disputes arising from it. I discuss some of the lessons to be learned by a recent First Circuit decision concerning those insurance disputes in my latest blog post, "Business Interruption Insurance, Covid and How to Win a Coverage Case."

I am quoted in an excellent article in on the potential impact on the retirement industry of a Supreme Court case being heard today, which targets the regulatory authority of federal agencies. I discussed the article and my comments in my latest blog post, "Chevron, Little Fish and ERISA."
