Regent Law faculty scholarship continues to perform outstandingly. Regent Law Professor Lou Hensler’s paper, "MOSES’ RESTATEMENT OF TORTS: MODERN PRINCIPLES OF JUSTICE AND EFFICIENCY IN THE MISHPATIM," was recently listed on SSRN's Top Ten download list for LSN: Other Law & Society: Private Law - Torts (Topic) Top Ten and Law & Religion eJournal Top Ten. This is a fascinating article about the theory of tort law embodied in Ex. 21:18-22:6: "While some of this passage from the mishpatim focuses on non-tort principles, most notably fundamental human dignity, the tort law of the mishpatim, at its core, appears to be a corrective justice based rule of strict liability for intentional and accidental harm caused by an actor’s voluntary conduct."
