Abstract
ACCIDENTAL JUSTICE: THE DILEMMAS OF TORT LAW (ACCIDENTAL JUSTICE), by Professors Peter Bell and Jeffrey O'Connell, is a pellucid, balanced tour de force of modem tort law in the United States. Bell and O'Connell speak intelligently to a broad spectrum of readers who may possess varying degrees of understanding of the relevant issues. ACCIDENTAL JUSTICE is sophisticated, yet eminently accessible, and the book never condescends, even to readers not trained in the law. The volume's publication is propitious because the tort field has become increasingly controversial, while tort law has been at the center of ongoing, intense public policy debates within the three branches of the federal and state governments as the twenty-first century opens. Few books on tort law can claim to achieve so much within such a compact compass. These attributes indicate that the work by Professors Bell and O'Connell warrants analysis. This book review undertakes that effort.
