Description

The opioid crisis has touched all of America, including Ohio, resulting in major litigation and raising issues about the proper role of state and local governments and outside attorneys in redressing the people’s harms through parens patriae litigation.  The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit recently denied the State of Ohio’s mandamus petition to prevent Ohio counties from doing so in the opioid litigation.  But that may not be the end of the story.  The panel will discuss and debate the proper role of these various actors and where they see the field of parens patriae litigation headed in the future.
