The Use Of Risk Assessment Evidence To Prove Increased Risk And Alternative Causation In Toxic Tort Litigation, Michael S. Baram
The Use Of Risk Assessment Evidence To Prove Increased Risk And Alternative Causation In Toxic Tort Litigation, Michael S. Baram
Faculty Scholarship
Due to the difficulties of proving causation in most toxic tort suits, plaintiffs and defendants in toxic tort litigation have begun to develop and use scientifically sophisticated risk assessments as evidence in proving or disproving causation. This use has led to two new trends in tort liability. First, there is the trend in which risk assessment is used by plaintiffs to buttress claims for future injury or increased risk. Second, there is the trend in which risk assessment is used by defendants to establish that other factors caused, in whole or in part, plaintiffs’ injuries.
This article evaluates these two …
The Use Of Anti-Suit Injunctions In International Litigation, George A. Bermann
The Use Of Anti-Suit Injunctions In International Litigation, George A. Bermann
Faculty Scholarship
Of the various forms of provisional relief in the context of inter-national litigation, none has sparked as much interest and controversy as the international anti-suit injunction.

The Devolution Of The Legal Profession: A Demand Side Perspective, Ronald J. Gilson
The Devolution Of The Legal Profession: A Demand Side Perspective, Ronald J. Gilson
Faculty Scholarship
Economic analysis has not played a significant role in the increasingly intense debate over the decline of professionalism among lawyers.Economists' lack of interest in the issue may be understandable. The lawyers' lament is that the legal profession is devolving into the business of law. That this concern has not captured the economists' attention may reflect only that economists do not view the label "business" as a pejorative. If becoming a business means efficiently rendering an important service in a competitive environment, then of what is there to complain?
Lawyers, more directly concerned with maintaining their professional status, would find little …
