Cynicism, Reconsidered, Pauline Kim

Scholarship@WashULaw

Occasionally I encounter among students the suspicion that law is nothing but politics. In the field in which I teach-employment law-this attitude amounts to the cynical belief that if judges (or at least those judges hostile to workers) can possibly find a way for the employee to lose and the employer to win, they will do so. While I must admit my own misgivings about the extent to which doctrine and precedent actually decide cases, I push these students to try to understand case outcomes as something other than pure politics. Believing that it is important for law students, as …

Punitive Awards After Bmw, A New Capping System, And The Reported Opinion Bias, Theodore Eisenberg, Martin T. Wells

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Capping punitive damages awards is a centerpiece of the tort reform movement. According to the American Tort Reform Association, as of June 30, 1996, forty-three states allowed punitive damages awards. Of these, twenty-nine states impose no caps on punitive damages and fourteen impose some form of cap. In states that cap punitive awards, the preferred method is to employ a simple multiple of the compensatory award. Eleven states rely on a multiple of the compensatory damages award. The most popular multiple is three times the compensatory award, but this is used by only five states. The capping multiples range from …

Pensions And Productivity, Stuart Dorsey, Christopher Mark Cornwell, David A. Macpherson

Upjohn Press

Employers typically view their investment in pension plans as a means of providing retirement income for their workers. Economists, on the other hand, view pension programs as a way to increase workplace productivity. Dorsey, Cornwell and Macpherson explore the theoretical and empirical basis for this perspective and, in the process, offer a complete and up-to-date discussion on the productivity theory of pensions.

Insurance Contracts And Judicial Discord Over Whether Liability Insurers Must Defend Insureds’ Allegedly Intentional And Immoral Conduct: A Historical And Empirical Review Of Federal And State Courts’ Declaratory Judgments—1900–1997, Willy E. Rice

Faculty Articles

Each year in America, an estimated $200 billion is spent purchasing third-party liability insurance. Fairly recent findings reveal that although some carriers try to settle third-party claims, an unacceptable number of liability companies simply refuse to settle or defend third-party suits. Each year, thousands of consumers and insurers petition state and federal courts for declaratory relief. The simple question asked in these cases is: do liability insurers have a duty to defend policyholders when third-party complainants only allege that insureds committed immoral or intentional acts?

Plaintiffs’ lawyers, defense counsels, state and federal judges, and state legislators and insurance commissioners should …
