Vicarious Liability for Employee Torts with Professor J.H. Verkerke

October 26, 2016

UVA Law Professor J.H. "Rip" Verkerke delivers a lecture to mark his appointment as T. Munford Boyd Professor of Law and director of the Program for Employment and Labor Studies. He discusses how to "introduce a richer framework for evaluating the law of vicarious liability" that addresses the risks of employing "tort-prone" workers while minimizing the inefficiencies caused by excessive employee screening and high worker turnover.
