LAW 425 - Torts II: Product Liability.

This course examines the doctrinal, economic and historical underpinnings of liability for unreasonably dangerous products. Products liability law reflects a mixed heritage of both contract and tort law. The doctrinal “wobble” between these approaches receives careful attention throughout the course. The course also provides a continuing critique of products law by examination of economic and moral premises invoked to justify it.Three hours.ScalesNot offered in 2010-11.
