The long-planned New York trip is in the books, and it was a smashing success. The Drug and Device Law Dowager Countess (almost 88) was ecstatic throughout, and all of the puzzle pieces meshed seamlessly. We can report that The Music Man is a serviceable revival of a silly, illogical musical (most of our classic
Fifth Circuit Affirms Dismissals and Summary Judgment in Defibrillator Case out of the Eastern District of Louisiana
This post is from the non-Winston & Strawn side of the blog.
As we write today, we are nine days from an event, two years in the planning, that we have mentioned in these pages before. We are taking the Drug and Device Law Dowager Countess (nearly 88) and her slightly younger sister to see
Summary Judgment for Defendants in Hip Implant Case out of the District of Oregon
For the first time in two years, we write from the confines of our office in downtown Philadelphia. While we loved the full-time “work from home” regime, we have fondly re-embraced the near-forgotten view from our 30th-floor window, along with our Dancing Barney doll, our RBG action figure, and our solar-powered effigy of
Partial “PMA Preemption” Victory in D.S.C. Pacemaker Case
As we write this, our firm’s “return to office” date is less than two weeks away. We will be delighted to see, hug, and collaborate in person with colleagues we’ve missed for two long years (computer visages notwithstanding), though we confess to panic at the prospect of “real clothes.” And shoes. It’s all a bit
Good “Comment k” Decision in Pain Pump Case out of E.D.Pa.
We report, with excitement and apprehension, that we have tickets to see Hugh Jackman as Harold Hill in The Music Man next month on Broadway. The Drug and Device Law Dowager Countess blushes and giggles at the mention of Jackman, and the outing seemed a worthy one, not without apparent urgency given time’s ravages (the
More on a Great D.N.J. Decision Dismissing Two Plaintiffs’ Hernia Mesh Claims
We have promised ourselves that we will stream this week’s “This Is Us” episode when we finish this blog post. We love this series beyond reason, and we dread its imminent demise, notwithstanding the title’s grammatical transgression. (We generally condition any sort of allegiance on correct use of predicate nominatives.) We are struck, over and
Good Comment k Decision – and Some Mixed Holdings – in W.D. Pa. IVC Filter Case
We begin by introducing a new Drug and Device Little Rescue Dog. We lost the oldest of our rescued angels – a perfect soul we will miss as long as we are breathing – in the fall. Our other dog was sad and lonely, so we set out to adopt a companion for him. Our
Unscrupulous Former Experts’ Qui Tam Case Dismissed by D. Mass.
We begin with the news that the Drug and Device Law Rock Climber has a new puppy. He is six months old and already over 60 pounds – a rescued Australian Shepherd mix. He is also white with blue eyes, a color pattern linked to deafness in dogs and cats. And he is totally deaf,
You Gotta Have Methodology: Expert’s Ipse Dixit Opinion Excluded in C.D. Cal. Hernia Mesh Case
We are headed to New York on Monday for the A.C.I. Drug and Medical Device Conference. We love this conference – we always see so many old friends and former colleagues – and we are delighted that it is back “in person” this year. We are speaking on a panel about the proposed amendments to
No Preliminary Injunction for Student Who Refuses to Heed Private College’s Vaccine Mandate
We take a break from assembling Halloween costumes for the Drug and Device Law Little Rescue dogs – a UPS worker, complete with cardboard parcel, and Batwoman – for another great decision involving a plaintiff’s opposition to a vaccine mandate. A number of recent blogposts have reported unsuccessful efforts by anti-vaxxers to enlist judicial support
