Book Description

The Independent Institute, 2006. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Helland (economics, Claremont McKenna College) and Tabarrok (economics, George Mason U. and The Independent Institute) examine tort cases in the US in terms of the roles of judges, juries, and lawyers. They consider whether awards vary because of jury characteristics, differences between judge and jury awards, variances of judicial electoral systems, lawyer contingency fees, and reforms. Their study is based on analyses of the JVR Personal Injury Verdicts data set from 1988-1996, the Civil Justice of State Courts data set from 1991-1992, and a Federal court data set from 1988 to 1992. The volume draws from some of the authors' previously published research. Distributed by Independent Publishers Group. (©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR)
