Programming note: On Tuesday morning, I will be arguing an appeal on behalf of the plaintiffs/appellees in the Superior Court of Pennsylvania. ABC News covered the jury’s verdict in the case in an article headlined “Motrin Lawsuit: Jury Awards Girl $10 Million for Burns and Blindness.” You can access the appellate brief that I filed on my clients’ behalf at this link.
At 9:30 a.m. eastern time on Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to issue an Order List. Once the Court posts that Order List online, you can access it via this link.
Additional posts will appear here Tuesday afternoon.
Update: The oral argument seemed to go very well.
