Pliva V. Mensing And Its Implications, Brian Wolfman, Dena Feldman

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in PLIVA Inc. v. Mensing will immunize generic drug manufacturers facing failure-to-warn claims from state-law liability, and may also have implications for preemption jurisprudence more generally, says attorney Brian Wolfman and co-author Dena Feldman in this BNA Insight. The authors analyze the ruling, and offer their views on the questions that PLIVA raises about the ongoing vitality of the presumption against preemption, the standard for determining ‘‘impossibility’’ preemption, and the propriety of deference to an agency’s views on preemption.

Big Boy Rules, Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love "Special Factors", John Auchter

Seventh Circuit Review

For more than two decades, the American way of war has been changing. The American military is relying more and more on independent contractors to complete its missions both domestically and abroad. The most dramatic, and public, use of contractors has been in the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In Vance v. Rumsfeld, the Seventh Circuit allowed a Bivens claim brought by two military contractors to proceed against Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Although the initial opinion was vacated and the case will be reheard en banc, it is unclear which of the opposing conclusions reached by the …

Dysfunction Junction: Should The Courts Rethink The Functional Approach To Legislative Immunity For State Officials?, Matthew D. Savin

Seventh Circuit Review

A state legislative immunity doctrine that affords greater protection from civil liability than the federal common law doctrine clearly interferes with federal law. At first glance, a state's decision to afford less protection than offered under federal law might not appear to interfere with the federal interest in administering federal law, but Supreme Court precedent and public policy considerations still prohibit the abrogation of federal legislative immunity as it pertains to state officials.

The potential conflict between state and federal legislative immunity was addressed in Empress Casino Corp. v. Blagojevich, where the Seventh Circuit discussed whether former Gov. Rod …

New Civil Liability For Corporations: The Seventh Circuit Takes A Stand On The Alien Tort Statute, Xiomara C. Angulo

Seventh Circuit Review

Many Americans may be surprised to learn that because of the Alien Tort Statute (ATS), federal courts are open to foreign plaintiffs who may bring claims against non-immune public officials for violations of international law. Recent litigation in the field has hit a speed bump, however, and the multi-million dollar question is whether the ATS covers corporations. The circuit courts of appeals are split on the issue. The Seventh Circuit ruled in Flomo v. Firestone National Rubber Co. that the ATS does apply to corporations that commit violations of international law. In reaching this conclusion, the Seventh Circuit rejected the …
