Book Synopsis Tort Reform, Plaintiffs' Lawyers, and Access to Justice by : Stephen Daniels
Download or read book Tort Reform, Plaintiffs' Lawyers, and Access to Justice written by Stephen Daniels and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tort reform is a favorite cause for many business leaders and right-leaning politicians, who contend that out-of-control lawsuits throttle growth and inflate costs, particularly in healthcare. Less is said about how such reforms might affect the ability of individuals to recover damages for injuries suffered through another party's negligence. On that count, Texas--where efforts at tort reform have been energetic and successful--provides an opportunity to appraise the outcome for plaintiffs and their lawyers, an opportunity that Stephen Daniels and Joanne Martin take full advantage of in this timely and provocative work. Because much of the action on tort reform takes place on the state level, a look at the experience of Texas, a large and important state with a very active plaintiff's bar, is especially instructive. Plaintiffs' lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, collecting compensation for themselves as a percentage only if they win. Reduce lawyers' ability to use contingency fees as compensation, as tort reform inevitably does, and you reduce their economic incentive to do this work. Daniels and Martin’s study bears this out. Drawing on over 20 years of research, extensive surveys and interviews, the authors explore the impact the tort reform movement in Texas has had on the ability of plaintiffs to obtain judgments--in short on private citizens' meaningful access to the full power of the law. In the course of their analysis, the authors explain the history and economics behind the workings of the plaintiffs’ bar. They explore how lawyers select cases and clients, as well as the referral process that moves cases among lawyers and allows for specialization. They also examine the effects of medical malpractice reforms on plaintiffs' lawyers--reforms that often close the courthouse doors to certain types of people--tort reform's "hidden victims." Plaintiffs' lawyers are the civil justice system's gatekeepers, providing meaningful access to the rights the law provides. Daniels and Martin’s thorough and fair-minded work offers a unique and sobering perspective on how tort reform can curtail this access--and thus, the legal rights of American citizens.

Book Synopsis The Psychology of Tort Law by : Jennifer K Robbennolt
Download or read book The Psychology of Tort Law written by Jennifer K Robbennolt and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tort law regulates most human activities: from driving a car to using consumer products to providing or receiving medical care. Injuries caused by dog bites, slips and falls, fender benders, bridge collapses, adverse reactions to a medication, bar fights, oil spills, and more all implicate the law of torts. The rules and procedures by which tort cases are resolved engage deeply-held intuitions about justice, causation, intentionality, and the obligations that we owe to one another. Tort rules and procedures also generate significant controversy—most visibly in political debates over tort reform. The Psychology of Tort Law explores tort law through the lens of psychological science. Drawing on a wealth of psychological research and their own experiences teaching and researching tort law, Jennifer K. Robbennolt and Valerie P. Hans examine the psychological assumptions that underlie doctrinal rules. They explore how tort law influences the behavior and decision-making of potential plaintiffs and defendants, examining how doctors and patients, drivers, manufacturers and purchasers of products, property owners, and others make decisions against the backdrop of tort law. They show how the judges and jurors who decide tort claims are influenced by psychological phenomena in deciding cases. And they reveal how plaintiffs, defendants, and their attorneys resolve tort disputes in the shadow of tort law. Robbennolt and Hans here shed fascinating light on the tort system, and on the psychological dynamics which undergird its functioning.

Book Synopsis The Practice of Tort Law by : Nelson P. Miller
Download or read book The Practice of Tort Law written by Nelson P. Miller and published by Vandeplas Pub.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors designed this book on current education research. The book includes learner objectives, law summaries, skills and ethics paths, legal-analysis instruction, torts-practice vignettes and materials, case studies, and torts-career advice. Its design is to help you place torts doctrine in its practice context, develop a professional identity, and give you greater control over your learning. In its report Educating Lawyers, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching urged reforms to integrate skills and ethics into the doctrinal dimension of law, to foster an apprenticeship of practice. This book is an example of the innovation that gives Cooley Law School its preeminence at practice preparation. About the Authors: Nelson Miller is an Associate Dean at Thomas M. Cooley Law School. Before joining Cooley, he practiced civil litigation for over a decade-and-a-half in a small firm, winning and defending multi-million-dollar jury trials in torts cases. His scholarship includes over a dozen books on law practice and legal education. The State Bar of Michigan gave Dean Miller the John W. Cummiskey Award for pro bono service. Paul Sorensen is a Professor at Thomas M. Cooley Law School. Before joining Cooley, he practiced law for 30 years, specializing in civil litigation. He is a past President of the Federal Bar Association West Michigan Chapter and the Grand Rapids Bar Association, which gave him its President's Award for service. He is in the Best Lawyers in America and Michigan Super Lawyers for his leadership and civil-litigation work. Karen Chadwick is a Professor at Thomas M. Cooley Law School. Before joining Cooley, she was Associate General Counsel at Plastech Engineered Products and at the Detroit law firm Butzel Long, P.C. Professor Chadwick also taught for many years at both Wayne State University Law School and University of Detroit-Mercy Law School. Professor Chadwick's practice areas have included products liability, commercial litigation, and worker's compensation. She publishes frequently in leading journals on tort-law subjects. Monica Nuckolls is an Associate Professor at Thomas M. Cooley Law School. Before joining Cooley, she worked at two of Michigan's largest law firms, specializing in commercial litigation. Professor Nuckolls has co-authored several books aimed toward teaching young people about the law and promoting responsible citizenship.

Book Synopsis Studies in American Tort Law by : Vincent R. Johnson
Download or read book Studies in American Tort Law written by Vincent R. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 1124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in American Tort Law introduces students to -- but is careful not to overwhelm them with -- law and economics. At appropriate junctures, economic issues are explored, as in connection with the negligence balancing test and the materials on damages, nuisance, and strict liability. The goal is not to view all of tort law through an economic lens, but to employ economic analysis when it is particularly useful. This approach allows professors from the law-and-economics school to use the materials in the text as a starting point for classroom discussions; those who eschew economic analysis can allow the economic commentary to stand on its own.Several features of the book are noteworthy: first, vivid, memorable cases are used as the primary vehicle for teaching torts, but special effort is also made to integrate statutory law into the text. In particular, careful attention is paid to the reflexive process through which judge-made law and legislation influence one another. Second, the significance of liability insurance is highlighted so that students come to appreciate the critical role that insurance plays in the resolution of real cases. Third, ethics notes are included throughout the book for the purpose of sensitizing students to the difficult ethical questions that practicing lawyers face each day. Fourth, the text explorers a number of issues associated with the law and feminism movement that raised questions of social justice of concern to all lawyers.The second edition of Studies in American Tort Law is completely up-to-date. It includes 14 new principal cases, citations to almost 600 new decisions, and a rich selection of materials reflecting the numerous recentlegislative changes to the law of torts. A fully revised second edition of the teacher's manual (Teaching Torts) and student study guide (Mastering Torts) will also be available.

Book Synopsis Tort Law in France by : Jonas Knetsch
Download or read book Tort Law in France written by Jonas Knetsch and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides ready access to how the legal dimension of prevention against harm and loss allocation is treated in France. This traditional branch of law not only tackles questions which concern every lawyer, whatever his legal expertise, but also concerns each person’s most fundamental rights on a worldwide scale. Following a general introduction that probes the distinction between tort and crime and the relationship between tort and contract, the monograph describes how the concepts of fault and unlawfulness, and of duty of care and negligence, are dealt with in both the legislature and the courts. The book then proceeds to cover specific cases of liability, such as professional liability, liability of public bodies, abuse of rights, injury to reputation and privacy, vicarious liability, liability of parents and teachers, liability for handicapped persons, product liability, environmental liability, and liability connected with road and traffic accidents. Principles of causation, grounds of justification, limitations on recovery, assessment of damages and compensation, and the role of private insurance and social security are all closely considered. The work gives an extensive picture of the current state of law and a first indication on the future French tort law, based on the last Government proposal for a comprehensive reform of the civil liability rules. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for lawyers in France. Academics and researchers will also welcome this very useful guide, and will appreciate its value not only as a contribution to comparative law but also as a stimulus to harmonization of the rules on tort.

Book Synopsis Wrongful Use of Civil Proceedings and Related Torts in Pennsylvania by : George Bochetto
Download or read book Wrongful Use of Civil Proceedings and Related Torts in Pennsylvania written by George Bochetto and published by Legal Intelligencer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade or so, Pennsylvania has seen a significant (if not explosive) increase in lawsuits that, at their core, complain that some other lawsuit was "wrongful" or "abusive." Such suits are popularly known as "Dragonetti" actions. Typically, these cases are brought not only against the litigants bringing the allegedly wrongful proceedings, but against their lawyers as well. All practicing litigation attorneys - and indeed any lawyer involved in representing clients in litigation - are potential targets of wrongful use actions and should have a thorough understanding of the legal rules and principles by which he or she may be judged. Despite the fact that "wrongful use" cases have for centuries been debated in the courts, there are few, if any, analytical resources available. Wrongful Use of Civil Proceedings and Related Torts in Pennsylvania is a comprehensive review of the body of law upon which wrongful use litigation is built. Compiled by author George Bochetto of Bochetto & Lentz, P.C. and his colleagues, it is based based upon years of experience and a close study of the jurisprudence.
