Purdue Pharma Supreme Court Decision: Harvard Law School Bankruptcy Roundtable

Americas podcast features a panel discussion organized by Reorg and the Harvard Law School Bankruptcy Roundtable. Reorg’s Karen Leung moderated a conversation with Professors Ralph Brubaker (University of Illinois College of Law), Anthony Casey (University of Chicago Law School), and William Organek (Zicklin School of Business, Baruch College) on the Purdue Pharma Supreme Court hearing. The panelists explore the statutory, constitutional, and policy arguments made by each side, and the consequences that could result if the Supreme Court overturns the bankruptcy plan. The guests also offer some predictions about how the court might rule and look forward to future of mass tort bankruptcies with, or without, nonconsensual nondebtor releases.
