ABSTRACT
Litigation finance sits at the intersection of many well-known subjects within the law school curriculum: contracts, torts, civil procedure, evidence, professional responsibility, insurance, and capital markets. This casebook provides a foundation for a two- or three-credit class, although many of the chapters could also be used individually as supplemental material for a free-standing unit on litigation finance in another course, such as torts, civil procedure, or the law of lawyering.
This is the first casebook in English on the topic of litigation finance. Although its focus is on the United States, it draws on cases and materials from the United Kingdom. The casebook provides a historical overview of the development of legal doctrines limiting assignment, maintenance and champerty, as well as detailed chapters on contemporary litigation finance in various markets, such as consumer and commercial litigation finance, as well as excerpts from leading academic works on litigation finance as it relates to insurance, lass torts, and legal ethics.
