The episode opens by highlighting the confirmation road for Ketanji Brown Jackson and lawsuits against opioid makers. It details three items scheduled for Monday, starting with the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee's expected vote to advance Jackson to the full Senate. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer indicated the chamber aims to confirm her before an April 8th break, and Jackson has gained support from Republican Senator Susan Collins. Also on Monday, closing arguments are set in the trial of former Goldman Sachs banker Roger Unn, accused of helping loot Malaysia's 1MDB sovereign wealth fund. West Virginia begins its trial against drug makers Johnson & Johnson, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, and Allergan, alleging they fueled the opioid epidemic through deceptive marketing. On Tuesday, ex-Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio will appear in a virtual court hearing in Washington for arraignment on charges from the 2021 Capitol riots, and he remains in custody as a flight risk. Jury selection starts in Florida's lawsuit against Walgreens Boots, accusing the pharmacy chain of contributing to the opioid epidemic, following recent settlements with CVS and Teva. Finally, on Friday, former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores faces a deadline to file an amended complaint in his lawsuit against the NFL and teams for racist practices. The episode is structured as a weekly preview, with host Alex Cohen delivering concise updates on multiple legal fronts, including judicial confirmations, financial crimes, public health litigation, and civil rights cases.
