| Summary: | The development of products liability law has followed a path of incremental change based on case precedent and differing judicial assessments as to what makes good policy. It's constantly changing and can appear contradictory. ABA Fundamentals: Products Liability Law is a careful and comprehensive look through the often-tempestuous background of this body of law, demonstrating how each doctrine relates to the political, economic, and historical context in which the law operates. In 12 chapters, the book covers: The Five Elements of a Products Liability Case, Warranties, Misrepresentation, Negligence, The Restatements Debate, Manufacturing Defects, Design Defects, Marketing Defects or Failures to Warn, Causation, Affirmative Defenses, Role of Federal Law, Damages, The relative youth and malleability of products liability law means that particular cases are often determined less by strict legal technicalities and more by the manner in which a case is plausibly framed. There may be no national law of products liability, but proven techniques of legal reasoning carry weight everywhere. With this book, you can learn the techniques that help decide products liability cases. Book jacket. |
