Summary

Tort reformers believe that courts must reduce the scope of defendants' liability in order to avoid economic decline, just as nineteenth-century courts shifted to a fault-based standard in an effort to protect emerging industries. Defenders of the current system reply that the tort-reform movement is an overreaction or, even worse, an attempt to enrich large corporations at the expense of average Americans. This book examines both sides of this debate.
