Dear colleagues,

For your information, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court adopted the Third Restatement for causation Friday.  More detail:

State supreme court upends causation in tort law, promising plenty post-pandemic work for lawyers

Disclaimer: I recognize that this and other lists have engaged in more sophisticated discussions of causation.  For this blog post, I had my students in mind as audience, especially the ones next to take the bar, and I eschewed a comparative perspective.

The court's opinion is here.  I'm sure there will be ample commentary flowing out in the coming week.
