In almost every field of law,from tort and contract to
environmental law and criminal justice, issues about 'risk' are
increasingly of interest to lawyers. At the same time, there has
been little general enquiry into the nature of the contact between
law and risks. This book argues that ideas about risk have not
traditionally been absent from law, as is sometimes supposed.
Lawyers and legal theorists have used and conceptualised risk in
particular ways, and ideas of risk have had significant influence
in key elements of legal theory including questions of justice and
responsibility. The book explores the conceptual place of risk
across a number of fields of law; and identifies some significant
challenges for law and legal theory arising from broader debates
about risk. It therefore sheds light on areas that are
under-explored despite current interest among lawyers, and aims to
provide an accessible guide to emerging controversies and
challenges for law in this area while explaining their
significance.
