Tort reform can be a contentious issue. So, teaching tort reform in law schools is bound to be a difficult task.
“This is a big issue and people have a right to know all points of view,” said professor Andy Popper, American University, Washington College of Law. “I think it’s impossible to teach in this area to not have a point of view. By the same token, I think it’s critical that students in this field get – at a minimum – both the pro and con views on tort reform.”
Popper shared his thoughts in a new interview edition of our Legal Current podcast. He talks about how he structured his latest book, Materials on Tort Reform, to address tort reform with essays from leading experts. The book is published by Thomson Reuters.

Popper also was a guest in our podcast that we posted on Monday, Aug. 9, where he talked about his testimony before the United States House on a bill regarding the manufacture of products outside the U.S. (We also talked with him for a Westcast podcast, about his novel Rediscovering Lone Pine, last year).
