Ep. 45: A New Legal Weapon In The #MeToo Battle

The #MeToo and #TimesUp movements have gained significant traction this year, but lawsuits against alleged abusers have not always addressed the institutions that enabled the abuse. This week we’re joined by Chicago court reporter Diana Novak Jones, who tells us about a case using a novel legal approach to tackle that problem. Also this week, we discuss the White House blocking a proposed $117 billion takeover of chipmaker Qualcomm by a foreign company; the largest agricultural litigation settlement in U.S. history; and a judge who used Shakespeare to write a spirited ruling in a dispute over wine.
