These hearings are against the largest drug companies in the world. The Defendants will have lawyers from across the United States (New York, DC, Texas etc.) representing them.

In December 2017 Clark County, Nevada filed a lawsuit against opioid distributors and manufacturers, as Clark County residents deal with the ongoing opioid epidemic. The widespread use of opioid drugs has resulted in a national epidemic of opioid deaths and addictions. Local governments including Clark County have been strained to the breaking point by this public health crisis.
