Virtual

Speakers

Callan G. Stein

Troutman Pepper Locke litigator Callan Stein will be joined by Sarah E. Harmon of Winston & Strawn LLP to present “Exploring Treble Damages: RICO Implications from Medical Marijuana Inc. v. Horn on Personal Injury” with myLawCLE on November 19, 2025.

This CLE examines the evolving intersection between treble-damage statutes (especially civil RICO) and personal injury claims, focusing on the Supreme Court’s decision in Medical Marijuana, Inc. v. Horn and its implications for litigators. The program will review the doctrinal background of treble damages and their application in tort and statutory regimes; analyze the facts, reasoning, and vote in Horn; explore how Horn shifts risk and opportunity in personal injury and consumer-product litigation; and propose strategies and pitfalls for practitioners (both plaintiffs’ and defense) going forward.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Treble damages: Origins, purpose, and statutory frameworks
  • The RICO statutory text and pre-Horn precedents
  • Medical Marijuana, Inc. v. Horn — factual and procedural setting
  • Horn opinion analysis
  • Implications for personal injury and product liability litigation
  • Strategic considerations for plaintiffs’ counsel
  • Defensive strategies for respondents
  • Hypotheticals and breakout discussion
