What law and econ book would be complete without the Coase theorm? Sure enough, that's what leads off this collection of essays on Tort law. Most of the essays are econ-related, although you don't need to understand economics to follow them.

Find out about the market for personal injury claims. Was Coase wrong? How broadly must we define, "transaction costs" before he is correct? Why don't parties bargain for the British rule of lawyer's fee allocation? How can we regulate public nuisance? Should we assign property rights or liability? Will people only buy for less than they would sell?

If any of these questios have intrigued you, get this book!
