Jeffrey S. Klein and Nicholas J. Pappas, partners at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, write that both the plaintiff and defense bar have begun to speculate as to the effects of the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, with lawyers on both sides highlighting the potential for courts to take an expansive reading of the legislation. For example, litigants may debate whether the "other practice" language in �3 of the act relaxes the statutes of limitations on a number of employment practices that impact compensation, including practices with respect to promotions, demotions and performance reviews, blurring the line between a direct input into compensation and practices that may affect an employee's compensation.

Pappas, partners at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, write that the legacy of Enron's highly publicized collapse includes a marked expansion of so-called stock drop litigation under ERISA's fiduciary duty provisions.
