SUMMARY:Your Money or Your Life: Antitrust and Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Tues. Oct. 28\, 2025 @ Lunch — WCC 1023 \nCompetition in healthcare is not like competition in most other industries. Those who pay (typically the insurance companies) don’t choose the products or services being purchased. And those who choose (typically the doctors and patients) don’t pay most of the cost. This\, among other unique features of the healthcare industry\, creates a market that can be manipulated by institutions with market power. \nWhat\, if anything\, can the antitrust laws do to fix that? \nJoin attorneys from Berger Montague to find out. \nLunch provided. RSPV here.

SUMMARY:The Retrievals: A Conversation with Kelly Fitzpatrick and John Koskoff
DESCRIPTION:Thurs. Oct. 2 @ Lunch –– WCC 2012 \nJoin Kelly Fitzpatrick and Josh Koskoff to talk about their civil law case against Yale New Haven Hospital on behalf of Yale Fertility Center patients who were harmed in the story told in The Retrievals\, a five-part podcast hosted by author and “This American Life” editor Susan Burton. \n“The Retrievals” tells the story of a dozen women who underwent egg retrieval procedures at the Yale Fertility Center. For months they complained of severe pain. But nobody caught on to exactly what was wrong\, until one day when an anesthesiologist noticed a loose cap on a vial of fentanyl. Soon the truth was revealed: a nurse at the clinic had been stealing the pain medication and replacing it with saline. Eventually the nurse has her own story\, about her own pain\, that she tells to the court. And then there is the story of how this all could have happened at the Yale clinic in the first place. “The Retrievals” is about the patients who say their pain was dismissed\, a nurse who was hiding something\, and the institution that failed to protect its patients.” \nLunch will be provided!

SUMMARY:What is Plaintiffs' Law? 
DESCRIPTION:September 22 @ 12:20pm –– Room TBD \n1Ls! Before we started at HLS\, many of us in HPLA didn’t know what plaintiff-side law (aka plaintiffs’ law) was.

And if you were born knowing you want to practice plaintiff-side work\, we are excited to share how HPLA can support you! \nWe’ll talk about plaintiff-side work (spoiler alert: it’s great) and how HPLA supports HLS students on the road to plaintiff-side litigation. Plus\, we’ll be giving out some merch (first come first served). We hope to see you there! Bring your friends. RSVP here for lunch.

SUMMARY:Block and Leviton Lunch Talk – Wrestling With the WWE: Uncovering Investment Fraud & Securities Law Violations Within World Wrestling Entertainment
DESCRIPTION:Wrestling With the WWE: Uncovering Investment Fraud & Securities Law Violations Within World Wrestling Entertainment\nBlock & Leviton is representing stockholders against World Wide Wrestling Entertainment\, alleging illegal investment practices in its $21.4 billion dollar merger with Ultimate Fighting Championship. This case also involves allegations of sexual misconduct: plaintiffs state that without the merger\, Vince McMahon would no longer have continued in his role as WWE CEO\, after repeated sexual misconduct allegations. Kimberly Evans\, of Block & Leviton stated: “All of the claims in this litigation stem from one thing: Vince McMahon’s pervasive sexual misconduct against many women in the WWE organization for several years.” This case showcases renowned plaintiff firm Block & Leviton’s commitment to litigating both claims of sexual misconduct and securities fraud issues. Block & Leviton attorneys will discuss this case\, how a law firm becomes lead counsel for high profile litigation\, and the plaintiffs’ bar in general. \nWCC 2004

SUMMARY:Lunch Talk: “The Retrievals” case with Kelly Fitzpatrick and Josh Koskoff
DESCRIPTION:Join the Systemic Justice Project and Torts R Us to hear from Kelly Fitzpatrick and Josh Koskoff about their civil law case against Yale New Haven Hospital on behalf of Yale Fertility Center patients who were harmed in the story told in The Retrievals\, a five-part podcast hosted by author and “This American Life” editor Susan Burton. \n“The Retrievals” tells the story of a dozen women who underwent egg retrieval procedures at the Yale Fertility Center. For months they complained of severe pain. But nobody caught on to exactly what was wrong\, until one day when an anesthesiologist noticed a loose cap on a vial of fentanyl. Soon the truth was revealed: a nurse at the clinic had been stealing the pain medication and replacing it with saline. Eventually the nurse has her own story\, about her own pain\, that she tells to the court. And then there is the story of how this all could have happened at the Yale clinic in the first place. “The Retrievals” is about the patients who say their pain was dismissed\, a nurse who was hiding something\, and the institution that failed to protect its patients.” \nRead more about Kelly and Josh and RSVP here. \nEvent hosted by the Systemic Justice Project.
