It can be difficult to allocate responsibility and liability in a Tort case. Professor Richard Epstein explains why he favors a non-traditional approach for injury cases. He argues that such cases ought to be considered as “stranger” cases, which gives the defendant the benefit of the doubt while examining the motives and causes that led to the injury.
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.
As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
