There’s an undercurrent of tension running through the new litigation against Novo Nordisk—a corporation long viewed as a pharmaceutical powerhouse, especially among diabetes care developers. Smith Drug Co. filed this action, alleging that the Danish pharmaceutical company used its patent leverage to stall competition for Victoza, its once-dominant medication.

The plaintiffs believe that bargain was less about resolving a legal dispute and more about organizing a delay, purposely keeping Teva’s cheaper generic version off pharmacy shelves until 2024. According to the filing, patients and…
The Supreme Court has granted a lawsuit that permits political candidates to dispute election regulations even before a vote is cast or counted, changing the way electoral procedures can be challenged. Rep. Mike Bost, a Republican from Illinois, launched the lawsuit after his state’s law authorized mail-in ballots to be counted up to two weeks post-Election Day, as long as they were postmarked on time. At first, the courts dismissed the case on the grounds that Bost had not proven any harm. The Supreme Court didn’t agree. Key AspectInformationCase TitleBost v.

Nurses have acclimated to the cold, and more significantly, to each other. Twenty-three days later, their tone has changed. It’s clarity now, not just frustration.

In the late spring of 1983, Brooke Shields found herself in a federal courtroom, battling to halt the release of nude images shot when she was just ten years old. She lost.
