This is a short reading that simply lists 10 tort reform initiatives.
Question: identify & briefly describe 10 tort reform initiatives advanced by the American Tort Reform Association [Hint: CRAP-CAN-PPJ]
- The answer in quiz 1.
- → The memory trick is a bit rude, but that makes it easier to remember: If you have to take a CRAP, you do it in the CAN. The PPJ part is just the leftover letters that don't make a word. (Shout-out to NZ for a variation on the above memory trick: JPP-CAN-CRAP or Junior Political Parties CAN CRAP under pressure.)
- Note that 2 of ATRA's reforms are the same as 2 of the proposals in Harris.Tort: (See pop quiz.)
- → Eliminate the Collateral source rule so that plaintiffs cannot double-recover. (The collateral source rule violates the principle of indemnity.)
- → Replace joint and several liability with a system of proportionate liability.
