•Course Goals
The course begins with a brief overview of the U.S. legal system, to give students a framework for the understanding of the structure of U.S. products liability law. Then the course will take up issues involving liability for manufacturing defects – cases in which individual injury-causing products departed from their intended design. This part of the course introduces issues regarding causation of injury, allocation of responsibility among potential defendants, and affirmative defenses. The next part of the course addresses liability for generic product risks: liability for defective design, failure to warn, breach of warranty, and misrepresentation. Finally, the course will take up a set of other important issues: toxic tort litigation, prescription drugs and medical devices, toxic tort litigation, punitive damages, federal preemption of state law, and products liability in a global context.
Students will gain an understanding of how the U.S. legal system works in general, and how the various aspects of products liability law described in the previous paragraph apply to products exported from Taiwan to the U.S. Students will also learn how to research product safety issues in English-language Internet-based materials and scientific literature, and how to access American laws, cases, and other legal sources. Students will improve their English-language reading, hearing, speaking, and writing ability. They will also gain confidence in making presentations to audiences of their fellow professionals, by developing and making a presentation to the class on some current product safety-related issue of their own selection, with the instructor’s advice.
•Tentative Course Schedule (this is likely to be revised due to time constraints, my international commitments, and other factors)
Students with disabilities should consult with the instructor about making accommodations in accordance with Taiwanese law.
