Should Injured People Have Access To Our Courts? Depends On Whose Ox Is Being Borked.

Judge Robert Bork, a leading advocate of restricting plaintiffs' ability to recover through tort law, is seeking $1,000,000 in compensatory damages, plus punitive damages, after he slipped and fell at the Yale Club of New York City. He injured his head and left leg. He alleges that the Yale Club is liable for the $1m plus punitive damages because they "wantonly, willfully, and recklessly" failed to provide staging which he could climb safely.
