Ep. 327: Justices Consider The Reach Of Mass Tort Immunity

Law360's Pro Say - News & Analysis on Law and the Legal Industry

08-12-2023 • 43 Min.

As Purdue Pharma looks to exit bankruptcy, a key part of its proposed reorganization plan has made its way to the Supreme Court: a deal by which the Sackler family pays $6 billion in exchange for a shield from future opioid crisis claims. Joining Pro Say this week is Law360 senior bankruptcy reporter Vince Sullivan, who walks us through these controversial releases and how they’ve been received by the justices. Also this week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ legal feud with Disney trudges on with a new oversight report, and former North Carolina public defender prepares for trial in a case targeting the federal judiciary’s handling of her sexual harassment complaint, with only her husband remaining as co-counsel. Finally, whether it was an innocent random prank or a targeted attack, the Ohio Supreme Court suspends an attorney for flinging a Pringles can of his own feces into a parking lot.
