Open Minds with Prof. Richard Epstein and Prof. Todd Zywicki Part II
Prof. Todd Zywicki and Prof. Richard Epstein turn to his legal intellectual development in property rights, contracts, and torts. Prof. Epstein reflects on how, in the early days of teaching, he was pushed to think critically about the connections between vastly different areas of law, particularly in relation to developing his core principles. Is libertarian theory sufficient to approach causation, and the creation of dangerous conditions? How does one apply theoretical principles to practical legal challenges? What challenges does one face when critiquing established views?
