Courts - "Supreme Court Considers Protecting Drug Makers From Lawsuits"

Updating this ILB entry from Feb. 21st, referencing the SCOTUS decision in Riegel v. Medtronic, Gardiner Harris of the NY Times reports today:

WASHINGTON — Less than a week after issuing a sweeping ruling that bars most lawsuits against medical device makers, the Supreme Court heard arguments Monday in the first of two cases that could determine whether drug makers receive similar protection.
For more, see this ILB entry from Sept. 27, 2007, headed "Supreme Court to Address Pharmaceutical Companies' Protection From State Suits," on the case, Warner-Lambert v. Kent.
