The Political Puzzle of the Civil Jury

Authors

Jason M. Solomon

Abstract

At the root of many contemporary debates over the civil justice or tort system--debates over punitive damages, preemption, and tort reform more broadly--are underlying questions about the justification for the civil jury. The United States is the only country that still uses a jury in civil cases, and most civil jury trials are tort trials.
