Best in Law Blogs : The LexBlog Network : April 17, 2012

Over the past couple months, I’ve grown more and more impressed by LXBN authors’ coverage of the Supreme Court. That continues this week as they’ve been all over Christopher v. SmithKline Beecham Corp., a prominent case deciding whether pharmaceutical sales reps are exempt from overtime. Also, on LXBN, we have an LXBN Roundtable on Brinker Restaurant Corp. v. Superior Court, a big victory for employers in the California Supreme Court. Total posts on the LexBlog Network today: 161.
