Title: A Compelling Look at the Need for Tort Reform
Review: Peter Huber discusses the rise of "modern" tort liability, starting post WWII and ending in the mid-80's. The book is a treastise on the need for tort reform, and a study of the consequences - both pro and con - of the boradening of tort liability and class action lawsuits.Huber is unabashedly forward in his opinion that the legal system has changed for the worse, and looks to a insurance/risk sharing based solution to the problem. He analyzes the costs, the impacts on international business competitiveness and the negative consequences on scientific and drug research.Huber's arguments are compelling and worthy of consideration - even though the book was written nearly 25 years ago. Some of the excesses appear to have been mitigated in the intervening years, but the need to understand the impacts and consequences of an activist bench may be more relevant now than it has been in 25 years as well.
