As Walter noted last week, we'll be adding and updating to the topical overviews offered for each category on the site (to the left). See, for instance, asbestos, procedure, or loser pays. These write-ups may seem very simple to those of you well versed in the area, but they will hopefully be illuminating to those with less experience in this field, and those who just want a quick overview of an area of tort law or legal reform. Needless to say, these primers are not intended to be comprehensive, we're very amenable to feedback, and we intend to update them from time to time.

Today's new edition: our editor's brief look at regulation through litigation. Those who want a more comprehensive treatment of this issue may want to explore the transcripts of two Manhattan Institute conferences on the subject (1999, 2000), or Walter's newest book, The Rule of Lawyers.
