Civil Justice Survey of State Courts - Project series justification for research
Hanson, R., Ostrom, B. & Rottman, D. (1994). The Williamsburg Report: A Dialogue on Tort Litigation in the United States. State Court Journal, 18(2).
The Williamsburg Report synthesizes the discussion and debate that occurred among a diverse group of judges, lawyers, business and insurance company representatives, and scholars. These individuals expressed their views at a one-day conference convened by the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) in Williamsburg, Virginia, on October 2, 1993. The purpose of this conference was to improve the quality of the dialogue on torts by bringing together a full range of individuals involved in this important area of litigation and to exchange views as to why the tort system is working (not working). Essentially, this conference laid the foundation for the Civil Justice Survey.
