Attorney General Eric Holder Speaks at the National Association of Black ...
It’s a pleasure to be with you – and I want to echo President Obama’s words of thanks for all that you and your team have done to bring so many accomplished, and aspiring, journalists together. I know that the President is sorry he couldn’t be with you in person today. But I assure you – when I get back to Washington this afternoon – I will personally wish him a happy 50 birthday on your behalf.
As a long-time admirer of NABJ’s great work, I am honored to be included in this annual gathering – and to be among some of the most dedicated, and distinguished, journalists in the country. I’m also grateful for the opportunity to salute the achievements and contributions that have come to define the National Association of Black Journalists. And I am glad, as always, to be here in Philadelphia.
One of this city’s proudest sons – and one of this Association’s leading founders – Pulitzer-prize winning reporter, Acel Moore, has often said that, “There are two types of people: those who are – and those who wish they were – from Philadelphia.”
Now, as a native New Yorker, I’m not going to comment on that statement. But I do believe it’s fitting that you have gathered here this week – in the birthplace of our republic – to discuss the essential role that journalists always have – and always must – play in strengthening this nation.
Since America’s earliest days, its best journalists have championed the ideal that every participant in our society has, not only the right – but also the obligation – to hold its leaders accountable and, as President Obama just said, “to speak truth to power” by raising awareness about what is right and what is wrong.
Throughout our history, the efforts of journalists have rendered a clear picture of life in this country – of the historic achievements we have made, and the harsh realities that far too many faced. Without your work, we would not have a starting point for progress – or, in many cases, for the pursuit of justice.
Because of this, I consider journalists to be essential partners in the administration and achievement of justice. That’s not to say that lawyers and journalists always see eye-to-eye. We don’t. But we do share a professional obligation – to seek the truth.
That is a tremendous – and critically important – responsibility. It is also the guiding force for our nation’s Department of Justice. And – 36 years ago – it was the driving factor in the establishment of this Association.

Where Are DePuy Hip Implant Cases? New ... - Drug Recall Lawyer Blog
The vast majority of DePuy hip replacement lawsuits will - if they go to trial - be tried in the states where the surgeries occurred (excluding bellwether trials and state court cases ). But the discovery of these DePuy cases is consolidated in Ohio. That means for now, every federal court case sits in what is called an MDL in Ohio.
Some DePuy plaintiffs' lawyers, for various reasons, do not want to wait on the slow pace of the MDL in Ohio. A number of cases that were transferred from Alabama have named a sales representative from DePuy/Johnson & Johnson as a defendant. Plaintiffs' lawyers claim because there is diversity of citizenship - an Alabama resident on both sides of the "v" - that the cases should be remanded to Alabama.
Let's be honest. Plaintiffs' lawyers would not have named this sales rep if he was not an Alabama resident. The DePuy lawsuits are clearly not about a sales rep. Still, that is not the litmus test as to whether the joinder is fraudulent. In fact, the burden for the defendants is quite high. To keep these Alabama cases in the MDL, DePuy was required to meet the difficult burden of showing either “(1) there is no possibility the plaintiff can establish a cause of action against the resident defendant; or (2) the plaintiff has fraudulently pled jurisdictional facts to bring the resident defendant into state court; or (3) there is no real connection between the claims against a diverse defendant and those against a non-diverse defendant.
