Law360's Pro Say - News & Analysis On Law And The Legal Industry

This week’s hosts-only show tackles a trio of developments, all with high stakes and big money attached. We discuss a brewing Supreme Court fight over the U.S. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s unusual policy of demanding attorney fees from litigants who challenge agency, regardless of who wins the case. We also share the latest on two big privacy settlements — Equifax paying $700 million to resolve fallout from a 2017 data breach and Facebook shelling out a record $5 billion to the Federal Trade Commission. And we drill down on a criminal indictment against a drug distributor that may be part of the Justice Department's new playbook to curtail the opioid crisis. Finally, Jimmy Hoover drops in with a harrowing anecdote about parallel parking under the watchful eye of the Supreme Court.
