Abstract | Criticizes the recent explosion (over the last 20 years) of civil litigation in the United States. Specifically addresses such issues as exorbitant punitive damages, contradictory and confusing federal guidelines and regulations, and restrictive influences on self-reliance and personal responsibility. Reviews some states' measures to correct these problems. (MJP) |
