Rather than merely citing the Code and Regulations for authority and identifying cases which support the proposition or answer given, this work sets forth a discussion of case authorities which have dealt with the relevant situation at hand, and provides a careful analysis of how those cases apply. Key topics covered include: Benefit arrangements subject to ERISA -- Construing and interpreting ERISA plans -- Notice, reporting, and disclosure -- Plan funding -- Plan distribution -- Benefit accrual and vesting -- Fiduciary duties and liabilities -- Preemption -- Standard of review -- Bankruptcy.
