The American Law Institute\u27s Reporters\u27 Study on Enterprise Responsibility for Personal Injury: Reforming the Tort System

In 1986 a number of prominent legal scholars embarked upon a project commissioned by the American Law Institute to re-examine contemporary tort and personal injury law. Five years later, the results of this project came to fruition in a two-volume study entitled Reporters\u27 Study on Enterprise Responsibility for Personal Injury. After a year\u27s debate within the American Law Institute about the broad range of issues canvassed by the Study, the Institute\u27s Executive Council endorsed the value of the Study for deliberations about tort reform going on in both legislative and judicial forums. This is the introductory chapter of each volume of the Reporters\u27 Study on Enterprise Responsibility for Personal Injury, published in 1991
