Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cases on the Law of Torts, Vol. 1 of 2: Selected and Annotated It is concerned with the most vital, the most important, and at the same time the most fluid and unsettled problems of human life. Not only does every new development of commerce, of manufacture, every new invention, every new habit and method of living, raise new questions, but the answer given is and must be itself varying and changing with every settled change of public Opinion. No final answer can ever be found satisfactory for all time or in every place. It is not a matter which can be settled by hard and fast unchanging rules of law. The problem is essentially sociological, economic and political. It is here that the study of law touches and blends with a knowledge of development of other lines of human thought and affairs. At most the law can only aim to express the consensus of public opinion, and this opinion must vary with changed external conditions and even more with that mental change which accompanies the acquisition of political power, and so of social importance, by large classes of mankind, whose needs and desires have heretofore gone unexpressed or, if expressed, unregarded. The subject is so absorbingly interesting that the necessity of brevity seems here a very real misfortune. Yet it is so vast that any effort to cover it fully would spread the collection to an alto gether unteachable bulk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The centennial of the American Law Institute is a landmark event. A lifespan of one hundred years is significant for a law reform project. Most such initiatives terminate when they achieve their limited goals, they fail, or members lose interest when their funding runs out. Instead, the American Law Institute is the preeminent legal reform organisation in the United States and remains an enterprise in full vigour, with an enormous number of projects completed and an impressive array of projects in forward motion. The American Law Institute: A Centennial History brings together an outstanding group of expert scholars, several of them current or former Reporters for the ALI Restatements of Law, to provide an in-depth scholarly history of the ALI, its role in legal reform, and the various ways it has impacted law in the United States. The resulting collection of essays provides original and important perspectives on both the ALI and its relevance for American Law. This book offers a window into the course of legal thought over the past century and is a must-read for academics, practitioners, and all those interested in the way laws are shaped within the United States.

By the common law of England it is only a person of unsound mind and dangerous to himself or others that may be restrained of his liberty by another. Such is taken to be law from the case in Bro. Abr. down to the last case on the subject. Mr. Bovill has gravely contended that the plea showed that the plaintiff pretended to be a madman expressly that he might be shut up in an asylum; for that is what his argument amounted to. But no such meaning can be put upon it: it merely states that he acted as a person of unsound mind. Then, shall it be said that the fact of any person acting so as to appear of an unsound mind is to be a justification for another locking him up as a lunatic? It would be most dangerous to the liberty of the subject if such a doctrine were to prevail. Ira furor brevis est; and there are many persons of eccentric habits, but still entirely in possession of their faculties, as we know from cases of contested wills, yet they may be said to be of unsound mind; and it would be monstrous to say that, because some persons chose to suppose they were lunatics, they might be locked up as such. The plea goes on to allege that a certificate of two physicians had been obtained. But where is the authority at common law for saying that if one or two men, physicians, if you will, say that another is a lunatic, that will justify a third person in taking him and confining him as a lunatic? On the other hand, the statute, instead of being of any service to the defendant, affords an argument against him; for the protection given by it to persons acting under certain circumstances in pursuance of it in regard to alleged lunatics would be unnecessary if the merely acting as a person of unsound mind would be sufficient to justify another in arresting...

Download or read book Recognizing Wrongs written by John C. P. Goldberg and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two preeminent legal scholars explain what tort law is all about and why it matters, and describe their own view of tort’s philosophical basis: civil recourse theory. Tort law is badly misunderstood. In the popular imagination, it is “Robin Hood” law. Law professors, meanwhile, mostly dismiss it as an archaic, inefficient way to compensate victims and incentivize safety precautions. In Recognizing Wrongs, John Goldberg and Benjamin Zipursky explain the distinctive and important role that tort law plays in our legal system: it defines injurious wrongs and provides victims with the power to respond to those wrongs civilly. Tort law rests on a basic and powerful ideal: a person who has been mistreated by another in a manner that the law forbids is entitled to an avenue of civil recourse against the wrongdoer. Through tort law, government fulfills its political obligation to provide this law of wrongs and redress. In Recognizing Wrongs, Goldberg and Zipursky systematically explain how their “civil recourse” conception makes sense of tort doctrine and captures the ways in which the law of torts contributes to the maintenance of a just polity. Recognizing Wrongs aims to unseat both the leading philosophical theory of tort law—corrective justice theory—and the approaches favored by the law-and-economics movement. It also sheds new light on central figures of American jurisprudence, including former Supreme Court Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., and Benjamin Cardozo. In the process, it addresses hotly contested contemporary issues in the law of damages, defamation, malpractice, mass torts, and products liability.
