Professor Richard Epstein explains how the Tort Law sets and enforces boundaries between various public and private parties. The Tort Law is basically divided into two parts that correspond to these types of parties - the law of public nuisance and the law of trespass. These laws stabilize the relationships created by Property law and enhanced by Contract law.
Professor Richard Epstein is the inaugural Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at NYU School of Law, a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and Professor of Law Emeritus and a senior lecturer at the University of Chicago.
