Next week, under pressure from the Drug and Device Law Lifelong Best Friend, we are participating in a “murder mystery dinner theatre” in the “conservatory” of a local cemetery. (We didn’t know cemeteries had “conservatories.”) It is a Halloween-themed event, with costumes encouraged, and we may or may not wear our eerily-lifelike Standard Poodle mask/hood.
By the Book: Hip Implant Claims Dismissed in Middle District of Florida
Recently, the Enviably Youthful Drug and Device Law Mother has been pushing us to plan a mother/daughter vacation. Her longtime companion no longer enjoys travel, and few of her friends share her sense of adventure. So we set about finding a suitable trip for next spring. Threshold categorical decisions proved troublesome. Our normal instinct, given
Correct Application of the Discovery Rule Means Summary Judgment in Hip Implant Decision out of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
We have always had a soft spot for zebras. They are the equine world’s version of some of our favorite acquaintances — the ones who always dress a little outlandishly and always stand out from the crowd. (Fun facts: 1. Although most zebras have black stripes on a white background, a white-on-black specimen shows up
Statute of Limitations in the Context of Prescription Drug Addiction: Case Dismissed in Northern District of New York
This weekend, we are traveling to Nashville, where, decades ago, we lived for a couple of years during a period of wanderlust. Nashville was to be a brief stop-off on a cross-country driving odyssey. But we never got any farther down the road, leaving Nashville only to reverse course and return to college (to our
Post-BMS Winning Streak Continues in Essure Litigation in the Eastern District of Missouri
These days, when the subject turns to victorious Philadelphia sports teams, most people think green, and “fly” and “Philly Special.” But we are not most people. We live firmly and fondly in the past, 2008 to be exact. So we relished every moment of our beloved Phillies’ Alumni Weekend this past weekend. We cheered ourselves
Exclusion of Experts and Summary Judgment Affirmed in Maryland HUMIRA Case
A couple of weeks ago, the Drug and Device Law Dog Walker texted us midday to report that a coyote had been spotted in our suburban neighborhood and that we should be vigilant when the Drug and Device Law Little Rescue Dogs were out in the yard. We scoffed, insisting that it must have been
No Proximate Causation So Informed Consent Wouldn’t Have Mattered, in New Jersey Medical Malpractice Case
We spent yesterday in New York City, helping the Drug and Device Law Rock Climber (now the “Drug and Device Law Software Engineer” – yes, we are kvelling) move from one sublet to another as she continues her quest for the perfect apartment. The day was challenging, as these things tend to be. We lost
Adequate Warnings plus No Warnings Causation Equals Summary Judgment for Defendants in Risperdal Gynecomastia Case
We love the unexpected. We loved standing up after what we thought was the finale of the fireworks show last night only to be left breathless by a stunning and unexpected encore. We loved walking in to a “quiet family dinner” for our recent advanced birthday to find the room filled with dear relatives and
Most Claims Either Expressly or Impliedly Preempted in Breast Implant Decision out of the Northern District of Illinois
Permit us to recount a recent travel misadventure, though whatever eventual connection we draw to today’s case will be specious at best. Last Friday, we traveled from Philadelphia to Hartford, Connecticut for a deposition. We were fresh off of a long flight home from Europe and were hesitant to take on a couple hundred miles
Innovative Bifurcation and Exclusion of Plaintiff’s Experts in Mentor ObTape Case
We have an adorable, pigtailed, toddler grand-niece. We play a game with her that involves placing one building block on the table and asking her how many blocks there are. She answers, “One.” We take that block away and replace it with another. Again, the answer is “one.” Then we place both blocks on the
