On March 29, 2021, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in the case of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. v. Arkansas Teacher Retirement System. The case turns on class action issues and the 1988 Supreme Court case Basic Inc. v. Levinson. In Goldman Sachs, the Court will address whether a class action defendant in a case alleging securities fraud may rebut a presumption of class-wide reliance on an alleged misstatement by pointing to the generic nature of the statement and if so, whether that defendant ultimately bears the burden of production or the burden of persuasion.
