The Purdue Papers: Amicus Briefs and Commentaries Related to Purdue Pharma L.P., et al.

On June 27, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered its decision on a petition by the Trustee regarding the case of Purdue Pharma L.P.. In a 5-4 decision, the Court reversed the Second Circuit’s Purdue decision and declined an invitation to anoint chapter 11 as the remedy for deficiencies in the state and federal tort systems. Even before the decision, the case had already generated a mountain of commentary in the form of amicus briefs, petitions and other related background material. The American Bankruptcy Institute, guided by editor David R. Kuney (who represented one group of amicus filers), has gathered together all of this material in a fully searchable form — more than 3,000 pages worth! This collection includes the final Supreme Court decision, as well as a commentary by ABI Editor-at-Large Bill Rochelle, who writes Rochelle’s Daily Wire, and a transcript from a July 2, 2024, webinar that discussed the implications of the final decision. This ebook is an invaluable resource for anyone working in the area of third-party releases, whether as a practitioner, an academic or just an interested party.
