Behind the Bench in Life Sciences Litigation: What Former Clerks Want Practitioners to Know 

This presentation offers practical, behind‑the‑scenes insight into how judges from the US District Court for the District of Delaware manage life sciences cases, drawing on the experiences of former clerks. 

The panel will discuss trial and pre‑trial practice – including what judges look for in summary judgment briefing, Daubert motions, motions in limine and common discovery disputes – and highlight key differences between jury trials and typical Hatch‑Waxman proceedings. 

The speakers will also address the strategic use of magistrate judges, how and when they are utilized, and what litigators should know about timing and drafting of judicial opinions. Attendees will gain concrete guidance on tailoring strategy to individual judges and navigating the procedural nuances that shape complex life sciences litigation in the District of Delaware.
