Nora Freeman Engstrom’s scholarship lies at the intersection of tort law and legal ethics. Her current work explores the day-to-day operation of the tort system and particularly the tort system’s interaction with alternative compensation mechanisms, such as workers’ compensation, no-fault automobile insurance, and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Professor Engstrom has also written extensively on law firms she calls “settlement mills”—high-volume personal injury law practices that heavily advertise and mass-produce the resolution of claims.
