SYMPOSIUM ON NONFAULT AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE

IN THE SYMPOSIUM INTRODUCTION, WILLIAM F. YOUNG ASKS READERS TO TAKE IT MORE OR LESS FOR GRANTED THAT CONTINUITY WITH THE PAST IS NOT A DUTY, AND THAT THE TRADITIONAL SYSTEM OF COMPENSATING AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT VICTIMS IS A DISASTER. A PRECIS OF THE NEW YORK PLAN, PREPARED BY THE NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE, IS PRESENTED. IN A PAPER ON "THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S AUTO INSURANCE STUDY AND AUTO ACCIDENT COMPENSTAION REFORM," ROBERT L. BOMBAUGH BRINGS THE DOT STUDY AND THE NEW YORK PLAN INTO A SINGLE CONSPECTUS. ROBERT E. KEETON AND JEFFREY O'CONNELL OFFER A MODIFICATION OF THEIR BASIC PROTECTION INSURANCE ACT IN THE PAPER "ALTERNATIVE PATHS TOWARD NONFAULT AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE." GUIDO CALABRESI PRESENTS HIS VERSION IN "THE NEW YORK PLAN: A FREE CHOICE MODIFICATION."
