Description

This week saw a strange turn in the saga of Endo Pharmaceuticals, which has been raked over the coals for suppressing key documents pertaining to its role in the opioid crisis. The Tennessee judge that handed the company its latest loss not only saw his decision reversed, but found himself booted from the case entirely over concerns about pointed commentary on Facebook and in an interview with Law360. The Pro Say crew breaks down the shocking development and what it means for the opioid litigation landscape. Also this week, Law360’s Amanda Ottaway comes by to discuss what a $450,000 win for a worker fired after an unwanted office birthday can teach employers about handling mental health issues, and Uber sees its arbitration push backfire with a $91 million legal bill. Finally, the hosts confront a pressing question: can you be an attorney general if you’re not generally an attorney?

If you want to dive deeper into the Endo saga, check out Episode 217 and Episode 221.
