Location: 1310 Biolchini Hall of Law (View on map )

On December 4th, the Supreme Court will hear its biggest bankruptcy case in decades. At issue is a simple but impactful question: Can the Sackler family be released of its liability for the opioid crisis in Purdue Pharma's bankruptcy?
 
The answer to that question promises to reshape bankruptcy practice as well as tort litigation and to define, for decades to come, the role of bankruptcy courts in addressing wide-ranging societal injuries.
 
Join Professor Anthony Casey from University of Chicago Law and Professor Lindsey Simon from Emory Law for this discussion. ND Law Professor Michael Francus will provide an introduction.
 
Chick-Fil-A will be served.
 
All are welcome.
