Professor Richard Epstein argues that cases that involve deliberate harm need to be assessed according to traditional pleading rules that rely on the concept of defeasibility.

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.
