DRI’s Drug and Medical Device Litigation Primer has long been lauded by companies and outside counsel alike as the perfect training for junior defense lawyers. For only $200 for DRI members, $225 for non-members, attendees will learn in an informal classroom style from leading experts in the field about such essential topics as the applicable FDA regulations, typical claims and defenses, medical causation and epidemiology, discovery and expert witness issues and in-house counsel’s expectations. No other training is as comprehensive or cost-effective.
