The law and courts make me chuckle sometimes. Two weeks ago, on LXBN this Week, we talked about two huge cases: Brinker and Christopher v. SmithKline Beecham Corp. In Brinker, the CA lower courts waited years for the California Supreme Court to make a ruling. Now, today, we see the 7th Circuit couldn’t wait a couple months for the Supreme Court’s ruling in Christopher v. Smithkline, as they said today pharma sales reps are not overtime exempt. Also, LXBN Roundtable today on the big Google/Oracle battle over Android. 165 posts on the LexBlog Network today.
