title: The role of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
abstract: On June 21, 2004, the Supreme Court ruled on Aetna Health Inc. v. Davila, the latest in a long line of decisions regarding the scope of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) preemption and the remedies available to participants of ERISA plans. After taking what many observers perceived to be a detour over the last few years, the Davila decision returned the Court to a more expansive interpretation of ERISA's preemption clause.
