Plaintiff's Lawyers "Launder" Sealed

Eli Lilly Documents to Give Them to

New York Times Reporter

 

 

Don't Let This Happen to Your Company!

In Chapter 2 of AJP's free CEOAlert series, Legal Shakedowns & Scandals, you will learn how a plaintiff's lawyer, an expert witness and a journalist conspired to illegally disclose documents belonging to Eli Lilly and Company.

U.S. District Judge Jack Weinstein described the conduct of these conspirators as "an act of civil disobedience".  The conspirators "deliberately thwarted a federal court’s power to effectively conduct civil litigation under the rule of law," wrote the outraged Judge.

  • What were the legal chicanery that these conspirators used to ambush Eli Lilly and to thwart the company's lawyers' efforts to expose their scheme?

  • What warning did Judge Weinstein give the company and others about the public release of the documents?

  • How much was the expert witness ordered to pay Eli Lilly for his nefarious acts against the Company?
