Hidden behind legal briefs and the Restatement (Second) of Torts, an awful lot of lawyers have a Harry Potter novel or seven tucked away. That shouldn't be too surprising, given that the series has sold more than 400 million copies worldwide. But now there is proof, in the form of a recent book co-edited by Jeffrey E. Thomas, an assistant dean at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law, that lawyers take Harry Potter very, very seriously.
The intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED), also known as the tort of outrage, is a relatively new cause of action, first appearing in the legal academic literature during the 1930s. Since that time, IIED has gained widespread acceptance and is now recognized in all US jurisdictions, with most courts invoking the definition set forth in the Restatement (Second) of Torts.

In fact, in order to balance the need for reasonably priced ...
The learned intermediary doctrine applies to medical devices such as plates inserted to assist the healing of bone fractures, the Connecticut Court of Appeals has ruled. The plaintiff filed a products liability claim against the maker of a surgical plate that broke after his orthopedic surgeon installed it to help his fractured leg heal. Citing comment (k) to [section]402A of the Restatement (Second) of Torts, the manufacturer asserted the learned intermediary doctrine as a defense, claiming the plate was an "unavoidably unsafe" product.
