Epsteinian Torts: Richard A. Epstein, Cases And Materials On Torts, Allison H. Eid
Epsteinian Torts: Richard A. Epstein, Cases And Materials On Torts, Allison H. Eid
Seattle University Law Review
A fascinating aspect of Epstein's scholarly work is his exploration of the apparent tension between libertarian principles and utilitarian thought—an exploration that comes alive in his casebook. To Epstein, these two competing principles often coalesce to yield a single "correct" answer to a problem. In other words, the answer that arises from a desire to protect a pre-determined set of individual rights-for example, private property rights, or the right of personal autonomy often produces an outcome that is also beneficial to the overall common good. Some scholars have critiqued Epstein's work by suggesting that there is more disharmony than harmony …
When Torts Is More Than A Series Of Accidents: Epstein On Torts, Victor Flatt
When Torts Is More Than A Series Of Accidents: Epstein On Torts, Victor Flatt
Seattle University Law Review
By using the Epstein book, the students learn the basics of torts in a way that is not frustrating, but in which they are still challenged by legal theory and pushed to think. Coupled with the interest and entertainment that are behind the choice of cases, I find the Epstein book to be very appropriate for our students. Of course, no book will fit everyone's needs or styles of teaching. But if you can determine what it is you wish to emphasize, both substantively and doctrinally, you can use this information to assist in selection. If, like me, you want …

A Review Of Torts And Compensation: Personal Accountability And Social Responsibility For Injury, Susan M. Gilles
Seattle University Law Review
I will review my selection of Dobbs and Hayden's Torts And Compensation, Personal Accountability And Social Responsibility For Injury (hereinafter "the Dobbs casebook") for use in my year-long first-year torts class. My review will focus on the third edition and will note changes made in the fourth edition, which came out recently. My hope is to tell you a little about the Dobbs casebook and a little about why I thought it would suit my incoming first-year students and my style of teaching. When selecting a casebook I have four main concerns: What is the coverage? Does the casebook employ …

Products Liability--Functionally Imposed Strict Liability, David A. Fischer
Products Liability--Functionally Imposed Strict Liability, David A. Fischer
Faculty Publications
Many manufacturers and insurance companies claim that a products liability crisis exists. This is evidenced by soaring products liability insurance rates. They express the fear that as insurance becomes unavailable or prohibitively expensive, useful products will be withheld from the market and some manufacturers may even be forced out of business. Such critics of the tort system are calling for modifications of the common law in order to give greater protection to manufacturers. A more drastic approach, vigorously championed by Professor Jeffrey O'Connell, calls for total or partial abolition of the tort system and substitution with various forms of no-fault …
Products Liability--Applicability Of Comparative Negligence, David A. Fischer
Products Liability--Applicability Of Comparative Negligence, David A. Fischer
Faculty Publications
Products liability and comparative negligence are two very rapidly developing fields of tort law. In recent years, the vast majority of courts have adopted strict liability for harm caused by defective products. At the same time, the doctrine of comparative negligence has changed almost overnight from a doctrine that had been accepted by only a handful of jurisdictions into what is now the majority approach in this country.
