Chicago Law Review: Special Issue Commemorating 25 Years of Judge Posner

The University of Chicago Law Review has just issued a special issue, “Commemorating Twenty-Five Years of Judge Posner.”   

Of particular interest to TortsProfs:

• Thomas J. Miles, Posner on Economic Loss in Tort: EVRA Corp v Swiss Bank, 74 U. Chi. L. Rev. 1813 (2007).  Here, Professor Miles comments on the economic loss rule, which bars tort recover for purely economic harms unaccompanied by any personal or property damage. 
• Alan O. Sykes, Strict Liability versus Negligence in Indiana Harbor, 74 U. Chi. L. Rev. 1911 (2007).  Professor Sykes discusses Judge Posner’s landmark opinion in Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad Co. v. American Cyanamid Co.
