Judge Scheindlin Enters Order Correcting Pension Opinion

Judge Scheindlin entered a second amendment to the Pension Committee opinion today, May 28, 2010. Please see my e-Discovery Team blog for the entire text of the Order.  "Likely constitutes negligence" is changed to "could." The "all employees" phrase is also modified to "those with any involvement." We can all breathe a little easier this weekend.

I heard this correction by Judge Scheindlin came about as a result of a question asked of her at a CLE event this week. Anyone care to share the details of that? Who gets the credit for bringing this glitch in wording to her attention?

I believe it was Jeff Jacobson from Debevoise & Plimpton. He engaged her on the issue, and they debated what her order said. He read it to her. She changed it.
