Pension Protection Act Blog

Over the weekend, the Wall Street Journal marked the 10th anniversary of blogging with an article by Tunku Varadarajan. The article includes several people listing their favorite blogs. In the spirit of marking this anniversary, here are some of my favorite ERISA blogs:

Taxprof - written by Prof. Paul Caron and Ron Jones of the University of Cincinnati Law School. Yes, Cincinnati is where I graduated from law school. And no, I did not have the honor and privilege of actually attending any of Prof. Caron’s classes. I regularly check Taxprof to see what new scholarly works have been published about ERISA.

Stephen Rosenberg’s Boston ERISA & Insurance Litigation Blog - updated daily, this blog does a good job of covering current ERISA issues. When I am looking for a well-reasoned opinion about a recent court opinion, I check out this blog first.

Brian King’s ERISA Blog - Brian’s blog also contains well-reasoned opinions about recent ERISA court cases as well as ERISA health plan issues. Brian also seems to find more ERISA humor than just about any other blogger.

Susan Mangiero’s Pension Risk Matters - this blog is one of the few ERISA blogs which focuses on pension risk and discusses fiduciary issues. For example, today’s post is about hedge fund returns.

Roy F. Harmon’s Health Plan Law - Roy writes the best blog about health plan issues.

Jerry Kalish’s Retirement Plan Blog - I think Jerry simply writes better than the rest of us. Just check out one of his recent posts about 403(b) plans.

Workplace Prof Blog - written by Paul Secunda and Richard Bales, it provides daily commentary on ERISA as well as other workplace issues - plus it has a book club.

And on days I am truly just surfing the web, I go to Technorati.com and search on “ERISA”. Every day, ERISA is mentioned in a variety of blogs. Today, I am surfing about my new bright shiny thing - pension equity plans.
