description This article discusses the standard of prudence formulated by the Third Circuit for employer stock cases brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and the Circuit Courts' subsequent treatment of that standard. Although a number of Circuit Courts have adopted the Moench presumption of prudence, there is still significant disagreement over the procedural stage at which the presumption applies and how the presumption can be rebutted. Given this split between the courts, judicial intervention by the US Supreme Court is necessary to resolve these outstanding issues and fulfill Congress's goal of attaining uniformity of benefits regulation.
