Gavel_&_StrykerJeanette Burmeister’s attempt to force the Department of  Health  and Human Services (DHHS) to provide a wide range of documents pertaining to the IOM contract prevailed in court. Represented by her former law firm of Baker & McKenzie LLP, Burmeister argued that the documents provided by the DHHS (after her lawsuit was filed) were inadequate and the court agreed.
