Book on Vioxx by Snigdha Prakash

Snigdha Prakash has written an interesting book on the Vioxx litigation, “All the Justice Money Can Buy: Corporate Greed on Trial.”  The book follows the early course of the Vioxx litigation and then turns its attention to the Humeston/Hermans trial, during which Prakash was embedded with Mark Lanier and his trial team.  Dramatic and well-written, and not shy about taking sides, the book is a great read and offers a rare inside look at the functioning of a trial team and the tensions that can arise among plaintiffs’ lawyers in mass tort litigation.
