In this episode, Professor Noa Ben-Asher, Professor of Law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law explains how to evaluate the reasonableness of negligence from a theoretical viewpoint. This episode provides listeners with a framework for analyzing duty and proximate cause in the context of justice. Professor Ben-Asher explains that students must understand and consider whether justice would be served by finding a particular defendant negligent. Together we discuss three theories of justice; distributive justice, corrective justice, and economic justice, and test these theories against traditional tort cases. This episode provides tort students with a deep understanding of negligence elements and creates a framework for thinking about tort problems on the deepest of levels.
