Bernstein on Gender in Asbestos Law

Anita Bernstein has posted to SSRN Gender in Asbestos Law:  Cui Bono?  Cui Pacat?.  The abstract provides:

The large literature about liability for asbestos exposure has, for the most part, omitted gender. This omission matters. Men and women who sought redress in court fared very differently, and the two genders have shared unequally in the spoils of asbestos litigation and regulation. Here I ask: Cui bono? Cui pacat? In other words — English words — this Article investigates who has gained from and who has paid for the transfer of wealth put in motion by asbestos law.
