Civil recourse theory has come under fire from many quarters, especially from the corrective justice theorists whom I have criticized in prior work.  The principal concern articulated by critics is that the normative core of civil recourse theory is underdeveloped.   This paper – which was written for a conference on Civil Recourse theory held at Florida State University School of Law -- presents an effort to respond to such criticism by further developing the normative underpinnings of civil recourse theory.   The account is still quite from far from being settled, as readers will see.

Benjamin Zipurskyis Professor and Associate Dean for Research at Fordham University School of Law, where he holds the James H. Quinn ?49 Chair in Legal Ethics. He has taught as a Visiting Professor at Columbia Law School, Harvard Law School, and Vanderbilt Law School, and has published widely in Torts, Jurisprudence, and Legal Ethics.
