Coming Soon: The HP&M Crossword Puzzle

(In our best Don LaFontaine voice) IN A WORLD where food and drug attorneys and regulatory professionals are all work and no play, there’s something coming to relieve the monotony and to spice up your work life. 

That’s right, after a very, very long hiatus, our “Lighter Side of Food and Drug Law” is back.  But as opposed to providing an entertaining story (see, e.g., here and here), this time we’re going to help exercise your brain. 

Later this week, we’ll be posting an FDA-related crossword puzzle written by Jeffrey N. Gibbs and Etan J. Yeshua as part of a celebration of Hyman, Phelps & McNamara, P.C.’s 34th anniversary earlier this month.  Be prepared!  While it may not be The New York Times Crossword Puzzle, it’s difficult! 

We’ll give FDA Law Blog readers about 48 hours to submit to us completed puzzles, then we will post the answers.  A special autographed certificate will be awarded to the first person to submit a correct response, and a different certificate will be awarded for all other correct submissions.  Our decision on the winner will be final, and not subject to reversal unless shown to be arbitrary and capricious.  (But we’ll be the judge of that!)  Stay tuned!
