By Krauss, Michael I. West Academic Publishing. Third edition. 2019.
"Products liability is the object of late-night talk show jokes and politician's stump speeches. Yet, like many subjects discussed by politicians and TV stars, products liability is more subtle and multi-layered than it’s made to appear. This subject is one of the most difficult and controversial in all of American law. Krauss’ Principles of Products Liability, 3d is designed to ‘‘unpack’’ these subtleties and to allow the reader to understand current American products liability doctrine, and to intelligently participate in debates about proposed reforms. The book is chock full of summaries of case reviews and theoretical analyses, as well as advice for practitioners. It incorporates all the recent case law, through the 2018 term of the United States Supreme Court. By the time the reader has finished this book, she or he will understand a lot about automobiles, pharmaceuticals and workplace technology! Indeed, the practical knowledge imparted by an understanding of products liability i…

By United States. U.S. Federal Trade Commission. 2009.
"In late 2007, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or “Commission”) convened a public workshop to evaluate the need for changes in the debt collection system, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), to protect consumers better. Based on the workshop record and its experience, the Commission concludes that the debt collection legal system needs to be reformed and modernized to reflect changes in consumer debt, the debt collection industry, and technology. This report sets forth these changes and the modifications to the law the FTC believes are needed to provide better consumer protection without unduly burdening debt collection." - from the executive summary

By United States. U.S. Federal Trade Commission. 2009.
"In late 2007, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or “Commission”) convened a public workshop to evaluate the need for changes in the debt collection system, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), to protect consumers better. Based on the workshop record and its experience, the Commission concludes that the debt collection legal system needs to be reformed and modernized to reflect changes in consumer debt, the debt collection industry, and technology. This report sets forth these changes and the modifications to the law the FTC believes are needed to provide better consumer protection without unduly burdening debt collection." - from the executive summary

By Krauss, Michael I. West Academic Publishing. Third edition. 2019.
"Products liability is the object of late-night talk show jokes and politician's stump speeches. Yet, like many subjects discussed by politicians and TV stars, products liability is more subtle and multi-layered than it’s made to appear. This subject is one of the most difficult and controversial in all of American law. Krauss’ Principles of Products Liability, 3d is designed to ‘‘unpack’’ these subtleties and to allow the reader to understand current American products liability doctrine, and to intelligently participate in debates about proposed reforms. The book is chock full of summaries of case reviews and theoretical analyses, as well as advice for practitioners. It incorporates all the recent case law, through the 2018 term of the United States Supreme Court. By the time the reader has finished this book, she or he will understand a lot about automobiles, pharmaceuticals and workplace technology! Indeed, the practical knowledge imparted by an understanding of products liability i…
