Recently, Mike Melbinger blogged about the potential importance of an upcoming US Supreme Court case – Jones v. Harris Associates. Here is the SEC’s amicus curiae brief for the case.

In this podcast, Bill Wright of Fisher & Phillips describes how this case may have implications for executive compensation practices, including:

– How does the US Supreme Court’s decision to hear Jones have potential implications in the executive compensation area?
– What is the importance of Judge Posner’s dissent from the 7th Circuit’s denial of rehearing en banc?
– When should we expect the US Supreme Court to deliver an opinion in this case?
