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.

SUMMARY:Plaintiff Lawyer Ethics in Planning Settlements
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 25\, 12:30 PM on Zoom. \nPlaintiff lawyers’ first goal is to maximize client recovery. But the true recovery is what a client keeps after fees\, taxes\, and liens\, and any loss to public benefits. Plaintiffs have significant power to affect these variables\, but not after settlement. Expert presenters will discuss what trial lawyers need to know to spot these types of risks and opportunities\, and the extent of their ethical duties to do so. They’ll also discuss opportunities to volunteer with the Plaintiff Fund Charity\, which supports and protects plaintiffs raising money for their medical care. \nJoin at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87993804812. \nCo-Hosted by Harvard Law Mock Trial Association\, National Plaintiffs’ Law Association\, and HPLA.
