IN LITIGATION

Eli Lilly & Co. v. Richards

On November 17, 2025, WLF urged the Supreme Court to grant certiorari in a case involving collective action notices under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). As WLF’s brief makes clear, Supreme Court precedent requiring federal judges to solicit possible co-plaintiffs in these cases must be overruled. The practice violates Article III’s limits on judicial power, the Fifth Amendment due process rights of defendants, and has no statutory basis in the FLSA or ADEA.
