Pending Supreme Court Cases That HR and the C-Suite Should Follow

By Eric B. Meyer

Earlier this month, the United States Supreme Court reconvened for it’s 2012-2013 term.

Although not chock full of pending employment-law cases, this term will see several important issues decided which could affect your workplace. Below, I have a collected a series of links to stories on these cases:

New Supreme Court Term Promises a Range of Labor and Employment Cases by Lindsey Marcus and Jeff Nowak at Franczek Radelet P.C.;
2012 SCOTUS Employment Law Preview from Phil Miles at LawfficeSpace.com;
Employment Cases on the Supreme Court’s 2012-13 Docket from the folks at GPH Employment Law Blog.

Of the five employment law cases on the Supreme Court’s docket this term, the one in which I am most interested is Vance v. Ball State University, in which U.S. Supreme Court will clarify just who is a “supervisor” for purposes of Title VII.

This was originally published on Eric B. Meyer’s blog, The Employer Handbook.
