Amicus Briefs and Commentaries

The Purdue Papers

A petition by the Trustee regarding the case of Purdue Pharma L.P. is currently being considered by the U.S. Supreme Court. Regardless of how the Court rules, the case has already generated a mountain of commentary in the form of amicus briefs, petitions and other related background material. For the first time, American Bankruptcy Institute, guided by editor David R. Kuney (who represented one group of amicus filers), gathers together all of this material in a fully searchable form — more than 3,000 pages worth!

This collection will be updated with the final Supreme Court decision — expected later in 2024 — as well as a final commentary by ABI's Editor-at-Large Bill Rochelle, who writes Rochelle’s Daily Wire. This collection will be an invaluable resource for anyone working in the area of third-party releases, either as a practitioner, an academic or just an interested party.
