Part 1 Research on-line DOJ press releases announcing settlements with pharma and device companies. Based on the press releases and the reading assignments for this week, identify a case against a pharma or device company that was settled in the past ten years, which you find particularly interesting.
Prepare a summary of the facts/allegations, how the case was resolved (e.g., settlement amount), and other information provided in the press release.
- 1-2 pages (no cover page)

- Then draft a document that addresses the following:
- What facts did the government allege about the company? What laws did the government allege were broken?
- Which employees appear to have engaged in the wrongdoing?
- What types of documents do you think the government may have obtained to support its case? If you were the government lawyer prosecuting the case, who do you think you would want to interview to get more information? What documents would you ask the company to provide? What third parties might have documents you would want to obtain?
- If you were defending the company, who do you think you would want to interview to get more information? What documents would you ask the company to provide to help you build a defense? What third parties might have documents you would find helpful?
