  • Liability for Uncertainty: Making Evidential Damage Actionable Alex Stein [email protected]
    Brooklyn Law School BrooklynWorks Faculty Scholarship 7-1997 Liability for Uncertainty: Making Evidential Damage Actionable Alex Stein [email protected] Ariel Porat Follow this and additional works at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/faculty Part of the Evidence Commons Recommended Citation 18 Cardozo L. Rev. 1891 (1996-1997) This Article is brought to you for free and open access by BrooklynWorks. It has been accepted for inclusion in Faculty Scholarship by an authorized administrator of BrooklynWorks. LIABILITY FOR UNCERTAINTY: MAKING EVIDENTIAL DAMAGE ACTIONABLE* Ariel Porat** & Alex Stein*** OUTLiNE Because factual uncertainty distorts the allocation of civil liability, this Article argues that the law should impose liability for uncertainty. Justified on both corrective justice and eco- nomic efficiency grounds, this liability should be imposed upon any person who negligently aggravates the uncertainty of a civil case by making its evidential base deficient. Because "evi- dence" belongs to the world of inferences rather than things, evidential damage may be inflicted in a variety of ways, far be- yond destruction of documents and other physical tampering with evidence. Through adoption and refinement of this insight, the Article diagnoses the presence of evidential damage in many legally important settings, such as mass torts, medical malprac- tice, exposure to risk, and employment discrimination. It also identifies a number of legal doctrines that handle the evidential damage problem indirectly and thus attempt to resolve it within the narrow scope of their application. Criticized by the Article as underdeveloped forms of liability for evidential damage, these doctrines are urged to be replaced by an explicit and com- prehensive liability.

Civic Identity in the Jewish State and the Changing Landscape of Israeli Constitutionalism Submitted To Professor George Thomas by Mohamad Batal for Senior Thesis Spring 2018 April 23, 2018 ii iii iv Abstract: This thesis begins with an explanation of Israel’s foundational constitutional tension—namely, that its identity as a Jewish State often conflicts with liberal- democratic principles to which it is also committed. From here, I attempt to sketch the evolution of the state’s constitutional principles, pointing to Chief Justice Barak’s “constitutional revolution” as a critical juncture where the aforementioned theoretical tension manifested in practice, resulting in what I call illiberal or undemocratic “moments.” More profoundly, by introducing Israel’s constitutional tension into the public sphere, the Barak Court’s jurisprudence forced all of the Israeli polity to confront it. My next chapter utilizes the framework of a bill currently making its way through the Knesset—Basic Law: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People—in order to draw out the past and future of Israeli civic identity.

In order to answer the question, it presents an in-depth look at the controversial “right of return,” focusing in particular on the example of the Israeli Law of Return. It contains a detailed history of the law and its development; a defense of the right of return in general; the principle and contextual arguments in favor of an amendment to or abrogation of Israel’s law; and a theoretical and practical defense of the law, with some ideas for potential modification. ∗ Gideon Sapir is Professor of Law at Bar-Ilan University, Israel, Senior Fellow at Center for the Study of Law & Religion, Emory University, and Senior Fellow at Kohelet Policy Forum, Israel.
