Shook Partner Phil Goldberg will moderate and Partner Patrick Oot will be one of three panelists for a presentation at the 2024 Manufacturing Legal Summit in Washington, D.C. The presentation, “Junk Science in the Courtroom – Maneuvering the Perilous Path of Experts and Science in Litigation,” will take place November 13, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. ET. The session will address the preponderance of “independent” labs whose specialty is producing junk scientific theories that plaintiffs’ lawyers use to wage high-stakes litigation against manufacturers. The panel consists of in-house and outside counsel veterans of high-profile litigations where innovative techniques, including aggressive discovery tactics, were used to expose junk science.
The Summit is sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), which represents 14,000 member companies in every industrial sector.
