7 episodes

The billionaire Sackler family has found refuge in bankruptcy court: they're trying to push through a plan that allows them to keep most of their ill-gotten wealth from sales of OxyContin and avoid all future lawsuits. Co-hosts Jonathan Lipson, a law professor at Temple University, and Charlotte Bismuth, author and former NYC prosecutor are here to explain this case -- and the broader existential legal crisis -- in plain English.

Backroom Bargaining in Mass Tort Cases: Interview with Elizabeth Chamblee Burch

Before the Purdue Pharma case slid into bankruptcy court, it was part of the National Opiate Prescription Litigation -- one of many cases consolidated into a Multi-District Litigation ("MDL") before Judge Polster in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. So ... were plaintiffs better off there? We're thrilled to bring you this interview with complex litigation expert Elizabeth Chamblee Burch, Fuller E. Callaway Chair of Law at the University of Georgia. There's lots to consider as the SCOTUS argument in the Purdue bankruptcy case draws near!
