A $5 million punitive damage award against Amber Heard was reduced by applicable Virginia law to $350,000.

Georgetown Professor of Law Heidi Li Feldman joins Host Rich Schoenstein to discuss the matter.

Healthcare lawyer Steve Polyakov returns to Law Brief to talk to Host Rich Schoenstein about recent technology trends in healthcare, including telehealth, urgent care and pharmacy practices, and how those trends intersect with the law.
