This Article surveys the most significant torts cases decided in the courts of New York State during the Survey year. Only cases which challenged existing law, modified longstanding doctrine, or announced new decisional law have been included.

Tort Law - The Public Duty Doctrine: Should It Apply In The Face Of Legislative Abrogation Of Sovereign Immunity? - Coleman V. Cooper, David S. Bowers

This Note analyzes the Coleman case. The Note suggests that the court incorrectly applied the public duty doctrine where the defense of governmental immunity had been waived.

Finally, the Note addresses the issue of whether there is a real distinction between governmental immunity and the public duty doctrine.

Regulating Regulators: The Legal Environment Of The State, David S. Cohen

In one sense I will be analysing the state as if it were a private firm in which losses suffered by private individuals and firms are externalities. Several years ago Mark Spitzer wrote a paper on this topic in which he posited several models of state activity and analysed the incentive effects of liability rules in each case.

Presently, there are more than ten thousand prescription drugs on the market, and each year four hundred to five hundred new ones are introduced. Second, modern drugs often are more potent than their older counterparts, thus increasing the likelihood of adverse reactions.

It should come as no surprise that this rise in the number of drug-related injuries has led to a comparable …
