Why does our legal system need civil liability when we already have criminal law and contracts? Professor Gerard Magliocca discusses how civil liability provides remedies where criminal prosecution falls short or contract damages prove inadequate, particularly when dealing with corporate wrongdoing. Monetary sanctions through tort law can sometimes achieve justice more effectively than criminal penalties.

Gerard Magliocca is Distinguished Professor and Samuel R. Rosen Professor at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law.

As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
