Download or read book Recognizing Wrongs written by John C. P. Goldberg and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two preeminent legal scholars explain what tort law is all about and why it matters, and describe their own view of tort’s philosophical basis: civil recourse theory. Tort law is badly misunderstood. In the popular imagination, it is “Robin Hood” law. Law professors, meanwhile, mostly dismiss it as an archaic, inefficient way to compensate victims and incentivize safety precautions. In Recognizing Wrongs, John Goldberg and Benjamin Zipursky explain the distinctive and important role that tort law plays in our legal system: it defines injurious wrongs and provides victims with the power to respond to those wrongs civilly. Tort law rests on a basic and powerful ideal: a person who has been mistreated by another in a manner that the law forbids is entitled to an avenue of civil recourse against the wrongdoer. Through tort law, government fulfills its political obligation to provide this law of wrongs and redress. In Recognizing Wrongs, Goldberg and Zipursky systematically explain how their “civil recourse” conception makes sense of tort doctrine and captures the ways in which the law of torts contributes to the maintenance of a just polity. Recognizing Wrongs aims to unseat both the leading philosophical theory of tort law—corrective justice theory—and the approaches favored by the law-and-economics movement. It also sheds new light on central figures of American jurisprudence, including former Supreme Court Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., and Benjamin Cardozo. In the process, it addresses hotly contested contemporary issues in the law of damages, defamation, malpractice, mass torts, and products liability.

Download or read book The Economics of US Tort Liability written by Perry Beider and published by . This book was released on 2004-02-01 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many controversies surround the U.S. tort system, which holds parties liable for injuries to people or property. Critics charge that the system is costly and inefficient, arbitrary and open to abuse, and indirectly harmful through its adverse effects on econ. vitality and consumers' choices. Defenders argue that the tort system serves important social objectives, such as compensating injury victims, improving product safety, and punishing egregious behavior. This study presents an economic perspective on tort liability (TL). It outlines the strengths and weaknesses of TL as a tool for promoting economic efficiency and fairness, discusses the benefits and costs of the tort system, and analyzes the likely effects of various policy options for altering the system.

Download or read book I Pay, You Pay, We All Pay written by Frederick T. Stocker and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study chronicles the serious problems that exist in today?s tort/civil justice system. The book analyzes the adverse impact routine abuses of that system have on all aspects of our economy?with a specific focus on the harm those abuses have on employers, employees, retirees, and investors. Indeed, as is detailed in the work, every citizen in the United States is paying a significant price to sustain this fractured system.Some of the key points found in the book include the following:1. The U.S. is suffering a litigation crisis?state courts alone are annually processing in excess of 15 million civil cases. Justice is often delayed and results are inconsistent.2. On average, an injured party has to wait nearly five and one-half years to have their case heard in court?an increased wait of 15 months in just over a decade. A successful plaintiff receives less than 50 cents of every dollar awarded.3. The direct cost of the U.S. tort system in 2001 was $205 billion, amounting to $721 per person, 2.04 percent of GDP, or a payroll tax of nearly 3 percent. These costs are expected to rise to 2.33 percent of GDP by 2005.4. Over the past 50 years, the cost of the tort system has grown by an annual average of 9.7 percent, much faster than the overall economic growth or inflation.5. A recent study by the American Insurance Association estimates that the asbestos quagmire has already cost the economy 60,000 jobs, and nearly 70 companies have been driven to bankruptcy by the asbestos crisis. Significant indirect costs are a threat to the innovation that drives American productivity growth.

Book excerpt: Is the U.S. tort system in crisis? CBS television's 60 Minutes has said the tort system metes out "jackpot justice," and Newsweek has called America a "Lawsuit Hell." Other observers of the legal system, however, argue that the tort crisis is a myth. Although both sides of the debate rely primarily on anecdote and the selective use of evidence, a sound diagnosis of the tort system requires a rigorous analysis of hard data, not a retelling of sensationalistic sound bites. In Judge and Jury: American Tort Law on Trial, economists Eric Helland and Alexander Tabarrok present their study of tens of thousands of tort cases from across the United States. The result is the most complete picture of the U.S. system of civil justice to date. Examining three of the key players of the tort system (juries, judges, and lawyers), Helland and Tabarrok conclude that the tort system is badly broken in some respects but functions surprisingly well in others.

Download or read book Our Liability Predicament written by J. T. H. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Liability Predicament is a non-political and non-polemical discussion of our present-day liability system and its problems. It concludes that the culprit has been the gradual devolution of American tort law to the point where it actually encourages litigation, greed, and revenge, as opposed to the proclaimed aim of law as a method of settling disputes amicably, expeditiously and fairly. The book is divided into six sections; the first of which is devoted to the basic facts of tort law, how it evolved, and how it began to differ from the tort systems of other nations. The next section discusses the basic flaws and merits of the system, and concludes that the flaws considerably outweigh the merits. The third section discusses the need for basic reforms, particularly in incentives, cost, and complexity. The fourth section considers specific problems, with emphasis on automobile liability and professional malpractice. The fifth section discusses the divergent points of view regarding the tort system in the literature, as well as various proposals for reform, and the final section gives a short summary and conclusion.
