I will try to cover the opinion here in the morning (although I expect to be just a little busy). 

At least two MCLE programs on Brinker have already been announced.

On Wednesday, April 18, 2012, at noon-1:00 p.m., the Labor and Employment Law Section of the State Bar of California will present a webinar entitled "Letters from the Brink: Life in California after Brinker."  The speakers will be Eric Kingsley of Kingsley and Kingsley, Mark Rudy of Rudy, Exelrod & Zieff, and Dominic Messiha of Littler Mendelson.

On Monday, April 23, 2012, at noon-1:45 p.m., the Labor and Employment Law Section of the Bar Association of San Francisco will present an in-person seminar with simultaneous live webcast:  "CA Supreme Court's Decision in Brinker v. Superior Court."  The panelists are Paul Cane of Paul Hastings LLP, Michael Rubin of Altshuler Berzon LLP, and Diane Sidd-Champion of McCarthy, Johnson & Miller Law Corporation.

As some of you may recall, Michael Rubin is my co-counsel in Brinker and argued along with me before the Supreme Court.
