This work examines the interplay between public attitudes and governmental action as norms have changed on where and whether one should smoke. With evidence accumulating on the serious health risks of smoking to both smokers and nonsmokers, an interdisciplinary team of experts in law, public health, communications, political science, and sociology addresses a wide range of tobacco control issues--the politics of regulatory enactment and enforcement, tobacco advertising, cigarette litigation, and strategies of insurers and employers.

In this important new volume, distinguished legal and public policy scholars address issues that are critical to the successful drafting and implementation of school choice programs, yet are usually overlooked in the choice debate. They explore whether school choice is a threat or an opportunity to the many children who are largely deprived of choice today and they offer a variety of perspectives, with some authors enthusiastic, others more skeptical. The book begins with a discussion of the types and extent of school choice, what is known about its consequences, and how politics has...

Although personal injury law has been much criticized--by legal groups, insurers, health care providers, the business community, legislators, victims, and others--no concrete legal reforms have been enacted that would create a more equitable compensation system for accident victims of all sorts. In this volume, Sugarman offers both a penetrating critique of current personal injury law and a pioneering proposal for new compensation arrangements and new mechanisms for controlling unreasonably dangerous conduct. Sugarman argues persuasively that personal injury law as it is currently...

Law students can master existing Tort doctrine from a careful reading of their casebooks. But many would welcome a "wider view." This book helps readers see the forest and not just the trees. Its four parts (and seventeen chapters) present: ideological, political, and historical perspectives on Torts; comparative law insights from other countries; alternative policy solutions to contemporary social problems not well handled by Torts; and explanations of how unduly complex Tort doctrines can be improved by being simplified. This book offers a unique set of supplemental readings for the 1L...
