Ep. 27: Can Courts Curb The Opioid Crisis?

The opioid epidemic has recently been put in the spotlight by Washington policy makers, but that’s not the only venue where the issue is being tackled. Law360 senior reporter Andrew Westney comes on the show to walk us through a wave of lawsuits filed against drugmakers and retailers over their alleged role in fueling the crisis. Also on this week’s show, we discuss special counsel Robert Mueller’s willingness to push back against the attorney-client privilege; a D.C. federal judge blocking the Trump administration’s ban on transgender people serving in the military; and a New Jersey state judge accused of “explosive fits of rage” and “extreme emotional immaturity.”
