From Cigarettes To Alcohol: The Next Step In Hedonic Product Liability?, Robert F. Cochran Jr.

Pepperdine Law Review

While generally courts seem to have stopped and in many cases reversed the expansion of product liability, cigarette litigation is one of the few areas where there are signs of expanding tort liability. Cochran looks at the similarities between cigarettes and alcohol in considering whether alcohol manufacturers may be the next target of product liability lawsuits. The similarities between cigarettes and alcohol are numerous. Both are hedonic products, or products whose primary purpose is to provide pleasure. They are also both dangerous to users and bystanders, and society as a whole. Currently, many of the costs created by hedonic products …

State Medical Reimbursement Lawsuits After Tobacco: Is The Domino Effect For Lead Paint Manufacturers And Others Fair Game? , Richard L. Cupp Jr.

Pepperdine Law Review

In 1998 the tobacco industry reached a settlement with the government for $246 billion. The massive size and scope of the states' tobacco settlement will inevitably exert a powerful influence on tort litigation for decades. The proliferation of copycat lawsuits, such as lead paint claims, seeking to emulate the spectacular success of the tobacco lawsuits will be one of the first aftershocks. The appropriate legislative response to this copycat litigation is to enact legislation limiting mass tort claims by states and other government entities. Because politics and economics may be influencing the filing of these lawsuits, rather than a purer …

Proclaiming Emancipation, University Of Michigan Law School, William L. Clements Library, Martha S. Jones

Event Materials

Program for Proclaiming Emancipation, held October 15 2012 - February 18 2013. This was a combination exhibit and symposium. Martha S. Jones and Clayton Lewis were Curators.

As we approach the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, commemorations can be a site for complex and nuanced reflections. They can also sanitize a messy past, making it palatable for popular consumption. Proclaiming Emancipation confronts myths with history. Oftentimes competing voices proclaim that no longer does Proclamation stand as an exceptional moment from the U.S. past. Instead, we understand January 1, 1863 as being situated on a timeline that stretches from …

Another Look At The Eurobarometer Surveys, William Hubbard

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

The current proposal for a Common European Sales Law (CESL) makes a number of empirical claims in support of its argument that differences in contract law among Member States are stifling trade, and that CESL will address these barriers to cross-border trade. These empirical claims rest largely on citations to a number of Flash Eurobarometer surveys and other surveys of businesses and consumers. A closer look at these surveys reveals that the cited statistics do not support the claims that contract-law-related obstacles present special barriers to cross-border trade for small- and medium-sized enterprises and consumers. Instead, a more ambiguous picture …
