Speakers:

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Harrington v. Purdue Pharma over whether a bankruptcy plan can bar third-party claims against nondebtors (principally the Sackler family) through a nonconsensual release; the United States Trustee argued such releases exceed the Bankruptcy Code while respondents said §1123(b)(6) and long practice permit them to secure a multi‑billion dollar settlement for opioid victims.
