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.

Following the Opioid Settlement Money: Interview with Christine Minhee

We are pleased to introduce you to Christine Minhee: she makes the world better. Christine Minhee was a law student when she took it upon herself to track opioid litigation settlements and the allocation of this "abatement" fund money. Now, not only do we have her user-friendly website (opioidsettlementtracker.com), but her work has spurred states to become more transparent about their spending.
