    The trillion-dollar question: Can private lawyers hold drug companies accountable for the opioid epidemic?

    Cities, states and counties across the country have hired private lawyers to sue the pharmaceutical companies that they blame for the addiction crisis that has cost tens of thousands of lives – and billions of dollars. One of the leaders of the private litigation, Paul Hanly, discusses why he thinks it’s okay for lawyers with a profit motive to step in when governments can’t otherwise afford to hold defendants accountable.

    Courting Change: Trump’s impact on the federal appellate courts

    While all eyes are on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, this is far from the full story of Trump’s impact on the federal judiciary. In less than two years, Trump has appointed 26 judges to the 13 Courts of Appeals – a record pace. Reuters legal columnist Alison Frankel talks to Arthur Hellman, a law professor and expert on the federal courts, about Trump’s picks to the appellate bench and how his appointments could impact the balance of power of Democratic and Republican-appointed judges.

    Guns and lawsuits: Is America actually safer because you can’t sue gunmakers over mass shootings?

    State and federal laws make it almost impossible to hold gunmakers accountable when killers go on murderous sprees. Shooting victims’ families are fighting an uphill battle to get around those rules. But, in this episode, a top lawyer for the firearms industry makes the case that it hasn’t received any special protection – and that crime is actually down since gun immunity laws were passed.
