Talha Syed: The Law & Political Economy of Torts

Description

Join us for the next iteration of our LPE 101 series with Professor Talha Syed (UC Berkeley) discussing an LPE approach to Torts. 

Tort law deals with two foundational subjects: Rights and Risk. The prevailing modes of analyzing these within tort theory and policy have been as realms of corrective justice (moral philosophy) or social policy (law-and-economics). A Law and Political Economy (LPE) approach, by contrast, offers a fundamentally different view of the subject: as a central arena of social justice. As such an LPE approach not only offers distinct substantive insights into tort law but also, and perhaps as importantly, a distinct methodology for approach law in general.
