Research Agenda for Tort Law (en Inglés) - Ellen M. Bublick;John C.P. Goldberg

This Research Agenda indicates key directions for future investigation in tort law, with particular focus on the ways in which laws could and should assign responsibility for injury and regulate safety. Bringing together leading international experts, this book maps out key challenges of emerging developments in tort law and theory.

Drawing on perspectives from a wide range of common-law countries, the contributing authors investigate the extent to which societal, theoretical, organisational, doctrinal and technological change will transform the landscape in which tort law operates. They explore how tort law is continually reshaped by litigants, lawyers, judges and legislators in response to the changing cultural, economic and political conditions in which it operates. Amongst other key topics, chapters analyse the ways in which AI will affect the application and development of tort doctrines, how tort claims play out in real-world litigation and how tradeoffs between tort law and compensation systems can address the problem of accidental injury.

A Research Agenda for Tort Law is a vital resource for law students and emerging scholars looking to further their understanding of current debates in the field.
