.../plugins/social-wall/img/placeholder.pngStanford Law School's Nora Freeman Engstrom's co-reported Restatement of the Law Third, Torts: Miscellaneous Provisions was recently approved by The American Law Institute, marking the completion of the drafting phase of a major component of the Institute’s decades-long revision of its influential Restatement of Torts. The Miscellaneous Provisions project was led by Freeman Engstrom and Michael D. Green of Washington University in St. Louis School of Law, "Our goal was to ensure that vital areas of tort doctrine—those not addressed in other Restatement projects—were given the careful and comprehensive treatment they deserve," said Freeman Engstrom and Green. "This work encompasses legal principles that courts and practitioners encounter regularly, such as vicarious liability and governmental immunities, as well as emerging and evolving doctrines like spoliation and medical monitoring."
