Spring is a time of transformation, so it’s only fitting that the Spring 2022 ILR Research Review highlights a range of civil liability issues in flux, each of which has the potential to evolve significantly in the near- to medium-term. Specifically, issues covered in this ILR Research Review include:

• Arbitration’s track record in delivering better outcomes for consumers and employees than lawsuits
• Recent changes to Department of Justice policy that may disincentivize compliance investments and invite unintended consequences
• The evolving future of tort law as it applies to drones
• The wide-ranging implications of U.S. Supreme Court jurisprudence for litigation filed under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
