Twerski The Cleaver, the Violin and the Scalpel: An Essay on Duty and the Third Restatement of Torts http://works.bepress.com/aaron_twerski/92 http://works.bepress.com/aaron_twerski/92 Tue, 01 Apr 2008 14:25:10 PDT The article takes issue with the approach taken by Third Restatement of Torts Proposed Final Draft that insists that no-duty or limited duty rules should be formulated only when a court can promulgate clear , categorical , bright-line rules that are applicable to a general class of cases. In this article I demonstrate that no-duty rules may often have to be formulated and tailored to the facts of a specific case. I respond to the critics who are concerned that no-duty rules that are fact specific allow the court to invade the province of juries whose task it is to apply law to facts. I contend that the kind of policy factors that give rise to no-duty determinations are very different than those a jury considers when deciding whether a defendant's conduct was negligent. Aaron D.
