Assumption Of Risk In A Comparative Negligence System-- Doctrinal, Practical, And Policy Issues, Daniel O. Conkle

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The adoption of a new principle of law invariably impinges upon related legal concepts, raising issue that were not considered when the law was changed. The adoption of comparative negligence, a drastic departure from the long-held principle of contributory negligence, has forced courts to consider how the related concept of assumption of risk is affected by the change. Because there are different types of assumption of risk, and various doctrinal, practical, and policy issues, a proper determination of the role for assumption of risk in a comparative negligence system depends upon a thorough examination of many relevant considerations.

Altruism And Professionalism: Boston And The Rise Of Organized Legal Aid, 1900-1925, Part Ii, Michael Grossberg

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The Boston Legal Aid Society was founded in 1900.
