Risk Science and Law Online Casebook

Published by the SRA Risk Science & Law Specialty Group


The Risk Science & Law Specialty Group of the Society for Risk Analysis publishes the Risk Science and Law Online Casebook, a compilation of risk-based case law analysis and legal commentary. Key cases involving risk analysis are synopsized and organized with the goal of making them more accessible and useful to legal and scientific risk practitioners. Both current "hot" cases and key historical cases are covered.  In general, the online casebook selections deal with either judicial review of regulatory health risk assessments or civil litigation of toxic risk or injury claims, and it balances the issues of law and science so risk science practitioners as well as environmental and toxic tort lawyers will find ideas germane to their professional interests.  Click on the titles below to read selected excerpts from the casebooks or the full-text version:

(Please note that in September 2000 the Specialty Group initiated a major revision of the 1998 full text version and is soliciting help.  If you are interested in joining this effort, please contact Wendy Wagner at Wagner9@attglobal.net.  The project will be completed in late October 2000 in time for the Society for Risk Analysis Annual Meeting in December 2000.)
