Minneapolis Office Managing Partner Alana Bassin is speaking at the American Conference Institute’s annual Drug and Medical Device Litigation Conference on Dec. 6 in New York. Bassin will present the breakout session, “Insights from Frontline Litigators on Current Juror Perceptions and Behaviors: Thoughts on the Post-Pandemic Juror Mindset,” along with attorneys from two other firms.

The session will dissect juror mindsets, perceptions, and verdicts following the COVID-19 pandemic, the connection between public skepticism of vaccines and the perception of drug companies, insight into the impact that juror regions have on life sciences, and the strategies that can be implemented to win over a jury in such a polarized socio-political climate. 

The Drug and Medical Device Litigation Conference typically has strong in-house participation, networking opportunities to strengthen connections, relevant and thought provoking content, and the gaining of perspective from key stakeholders. The conference will take place at the New York Marriott Marquis on Dec. 6-7, and Nelson Mullins is serving as a sponsor, with several attorneys attending.
