In last term’s Amgen, Inc. v. Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds, four justices signaled an interest in overturning a 25-year-old precedent that makes it easier for shareholders to sue companies for securities fraud.

A petition in Halliburton v. Erica P. John Fund Inc. asks the Supreme Court to do just that. The case is scheduled for discussion at the court’s private conference Nov. 15, and only four votes are needed for certiorari to be granted.
