Description
The American tort system is a unique system in that it possesses many characteristics about which very little is known in the UK, or in Europe. Professor Fleming, a world-famous legal scholar who specializes in tort, has had the opportunity of observing at first-hand the operation of the tort system in many jurisdictions throughout the world. He brings that experience to bear in a penetrating account of the singular way in which the American tort system has evolved and works today.
