| Summary: | "Richard A. Nagareda's Mass Torts in a World of Settlement is the first attempt to analyze the lawyer's role in the world of high-stakes, multibillion-dollar litigation." "Mass settlements of mass tort litigation, Nagareda argues, have transformed the legal system so acutely that rival teams of lawyers operate as sophisticated governing powers rather than litigators. His controversial solution is the replacement of the existing tort system with a private administrative framework to address both current and future claims. This, book is a must-read for concerned citizens, policymakers, lawyers, investors, and executives grappling with the changing face of mass torts."--BOOK JACKET. |
