" I would be surprised if Merck would just cave [ and settle cases ] simply based on having to have lawyers run in a lot of different directions , " said Deborah Barnard , a Boston lawyer specializing in product liability cases.But New York attorney Michael London , who is handling more than 100 Vioxx lawsuits but is not on Lanier 's team , said Lanier 's strategy is a good one because it makes things less predictable for Merck.With nearly all the lawsuits so far filed either in New Jersey or federal court and just two judges overseeing those cases now , London said , Merck can expect consistent rulings and know when its cases will be scheduled for trial.Merck can automatically move to federal court any class action cases , although that 's a tiny minority so far , and any cases filed in state courts outside of New Jersey.If the plaintiff in the state court also names a second defendant , such as a doctor or pharmacy , in that plaintiff 's home state , usually the case cannot be moved to federal court . Our aim in this course will be to sort through the complex , confusing , and deeply intriguing questions that are contained within the seemingly simple concept of the " family history " and the " family story . While it may take 10 or 20 trials to establish the value of all the cases , at some point , both sides will have an idea of the probability of success of those cases in New Jersey . Mark these dates on your calendar ! A longer research paper ( 20-25 pages ) due at the end of the term One in-class presentation Regular forays into both actual and virtual archives to locate reviews , articles , historical information , and other materials relevant to the course .

These are some of the questions that will occupy us this semester as we study a range of American writers who have approached the complex question of the " family story " through fiction . " It 's been identified by both the court and both sides as having some value as a precedent in establishing the liability and the value of these cases . This course takes the casual absorption of Irish writing into English literary history as both inspiration and object of study . Sponsored by The William Penn Foundation , this was no ordinary gathering at which people who represent various and , perhaps , antagonistic perspectives . For another thing , he could not yet think of that letter of Barrett 's , nor of a little scene that had followed it , without a mounting of colour and a quick contraction of the brow . That 's not all , either . On at least three occasions , Superior Court Judge Carol Higbee had to intervene , at one point telling Raber to lower his voice and also telling Raber and plaintiff 's attorney Chris Seeger to stop attacking each other.Humeston , 60 , is suing the Whitehouse Station , N.J. - based company because he says the now-withdrawn painkiller caused his heart attack in September 2001 . The house , the vicar said , was old - - but there needed no vicar to tell Oleron that ; it was reputed ( 0leron pricked up his-ears ) to be haunted - - but there were few old houses about which some such rumour did not circulate among ignorant ; and the deplorable lack of Faith of the modern world , the vicar thought , did not tend to dissipate these superstitions .

But now he was light , unburdened , rid at last both of that Romilly and of her prototype . And a Future Search conference culminates in action plans which , ideally , advance the common interests of all of these factions . Humeston 's lawyers have pointed to that study as proof Merck knew its blockbuster pain reliever could lead to heart attacks.But testimony from Gertz , who appeared for the company , bolstered Merck 's argument that the company performed subsequent studies to see if Vioxx reduced prostacyclin and could cause heart attacks , and found that it did not.Humeston lawyer Chris Seeger suggested in his cross-examination that " all that testimony about bunny hearts and dogs " had little bearing on how the medicine could affect humans . Do n't test me on this : your grade will suffer for it .
