    Foreign Tort Law: Beyond Europe
    (Program to be published in Arizona Journal of International and Comparative Law)

    One or more presenters were selected from a call for papers.

    Injury is a universal problem. In recent years, U.S. Tort law scholars have learned much about European Tort law. This panel, which includes Tort scholars from Canada, Ghana, Israel, Japan, Singapore, and the United States, explores foreign Tort law outside Europe. Papers, which will be published in the ARIZONA JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE LAW, address situations in which tort law not only reflects shared cultural norms but also plays an important role in mediating cultural tensions. Several papers also focus on the importance of redressing dignitary and emotional harms in foreign jurisdictions.
