The Behavioral Economic Case For Paternalistic Workplace Retirement Plans, Paul M. Secunda

Indiana Law Journal

Dependence on 401(k) retirement accounts continues to cause a massive retirement crisis in the United States by leaving most workers unprepared for retirement.

"Old And Making Hay:" The Results Of The Pro Bono Institute Firm Survey On The Viability Of A "Second Acts" Program To Transition Attorneys To Retirement Through Pro Bono Work, Kenneth Glenn Dau-Schmidt, Esther Lardent, Reena Glazer, Kellen Ressmeyer
