On Tuesday, Pennsylvania Democrats and Republicans will choose candidates for openings on two powerful appellate courts that shape caregiving statewide.

HMS Legal Melissa Chapaska had a substantive win in New Jersey for one of CLS’s cannabis clients. The case involves a CLS cannabis client’s efforts to hold a construction contractor accountable for negligence and fraud in the construction of a cannabis facility. Following Melissa’s successful oral argument on the merits of these claims, the judge denied the construction company’s attempts to dismiss these claims. The case will proceed to adjudicate whether the construction company can be held liable for damages resulting from the claims alleged.
