The relationship between science, law and justice has become a pressing issue with US Supreme Court decisions beginning with Daubert v. Merrell-Dow Pharmaceutical. How courts review scientific testimony and its foundation before trial can substantially affect the possibility of justice for persons wrongfully injured by exposure to toxic substances. If courts do not review scientific testimony, they will deny one of the parties the possibility of justice. Even if courts review evidence well, the fact and perception of greater judicial scrutiny increases litigation costs and attorney screening of clients. Mistaken review of scientific evidence can decrease citizen access to the law, increase unfortunate incentives for firms not to test their products, lower deterrence for wrongful conduct and harmful products, and decrease the possibility of justice for citizens injured by toxic substances. This book introduces these issues, reveals the relationships that pose problems, and shows how justice can be denied.

The Second Edition of this casebook provides an integrated approach to private and public law responses to toxic insults to individuals and to the environment. The book explores: the ability of various legal theories to resolve toxic tort cases, the use of various branches of science to address the question of causation, the unique features of toxic tort remedies in the workplace, the role of public law, both in controlling risk and its interaction with private law, special damage issues that arise in toxic cases such as the right to medical monitoring, the insurance issues that arise in toxic tort cases, and the complex legal environment (bankruptcy, multidistrict litigation, class actions) in which toxic tort cases are often litigated. The casebook stands alone as an upper-level introduction to the ever-expanding role of toxic tort and environmental law regulation and litigation.
