Item Title Report on the California Citizens' Commission on Tort Reform
Collection Title Commonwealth Club of California records
Speaker Hamilton, Edward K.
Date Created July 29, 1977
Description Why is everybody suing everybody? Hamilton presents the results of his commission‘s work on this question. The tort system is deeply in trouble. Everyone is involved in helping pay for the system through payments ranging from insurance premiums to taxes, to the prices we pay for goods and services. Hamilton describes how the current system works. He then introduces some of the major recommendations of the commission, and discusses how instituting the changes would dramatically reduce delays, backlogs, and costs.
