I was in the First Circuit courtroom not too long ago waiting to argue when I became interested in another case on the argument list, which concerned the overlap of legal malpractice and patent law, both areas in which I have litigated cases in the past.

This was a fun week if, like me, you enjoy reading about ERISA and insurance issues. There was a lot to pay attention to, but for purposes of this weekly post, I narrowed it down to articles on nuclear verdicts, cyber insurance, regulatory initiatives targeted at PBMs and drug pricing, the continued boom in ERISA
In some ways, the second most popular post on my blog in 2025 was my favorite – and objectively likely my “best” – post of the year, in any venue.
