: ThePopTortAccess Denied: The Fight for Corporate Accountability - This Friday at NYU
By Amanda
Are you a law student living New York City? What are you doing for lunch on Friday? New York University (NYU) law students and curious policy wonks will be attending the 32nd Annual Public Interest Legal Career Fair and lunching at Furman Hall with Alliance for Justice (AFJ) while catching a screening of Access Denied: The Fight for Corporate Accountability.
After the film, Joanne Doroshow, Executive Director of Center for Justice & Democracy will lead a discussion of Wyeth v. Levine, which is currently before the U.S. Supreme Court. Here's a synopsis of the film:
When Diana Levine went to the hospital in April 2000, seeking relief for a severe migraine headache, the professional musician and children's record producer never imagined that faulty drug labeling would result in the amputation of her arm. Today she is at the center of a closely-watched Supreme Court case, Wyeth v Levine and a national debate about the federal courts and corporate accountability.
Produced in conjunction with 12-time Emmy award-winning producers/directors Jon Alpert and Matt O'Neill, Alliance for Justice's 22 minute short documentary Access Denied: The Fight for Corporate Accountability tells Ms. Levine's powerful story and exposes the slow but steady transformation of our federal courts into institutions that favor corporate interests over everyday Americans. Through an examination of Diana Levine's case against Wyeth Pharmaceuticals - and the experiences of others like her - Access Denied takes the legal issue of preemption out of the courtroom and into the real world, where millions of Americans find themselves unable to access the courts and hold corporations accountable for their misconduct.
WHEN: Friday, February 6, 2009 12:45pm - 2:00pm
WHERE: New York University School of Law
New York, NY
