Following the end of the Supreme Court's recent term, many in the legal press, as well as the media more broadly, are debating the effect of the Court's rulings on businesses across the country. But because the Supreme Court hears fewer than 100 cases per year, the courts of appeals functionally act as courts of last resort for the determination of key issues that affect the day-to-day affairs of businesses. How do the rulings of the Sixth Circuit, which covers Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, measure up? What were the major rulings of the past term of the Sixth Circuit that affect businesses, and what do they tell us about the court?
Join us for a panel discussion of the important cases and developments in the law of the Sixth Circuit that will affect your business in the coming year. Pierre H. Bergeron, a former Sixth Circuit clerk and current head of the Squire Sanders appellate and Supreme Court practice, will moderate the discussion. Our appellate practice maintains the only blog focused on the Sixth Circuit, which updates readers and comments on business cases pending before the court.
Topics of discussion include recent Sixth Circuit decisions and trends regarding:
- Daubert Rulings and the Future of Expert Testimony In the Sixth Circuit
- Key Business Concerns: Large Jury Verdicts, Punitive Damages, and Class Actions
- High Profile Rulings on Health Care Reform and Affirmative Action
- Whether the Sixth Circuit has Made It Easier to Dismiss Complaints
- The Sixth Circuit’s Reputation with the Supreme Court and In the Media
