Product Liability
What happens if someone is injured, killed, or suffers health problems by using a product? Do people have a right to sue the manufacturers of such items? Through modern product liability laws, injured parties can make a claim in court, but such laws are often controversial. Before the 20th century, product lawsuits were rare, and injured consumers faced many legal barriers. Although it is now easier for people to recover damages, critics claim such laws are unfair to manufacturers. They also debate the proper standards for determining product liability and the kinds of rewards that should be rendered for damages. Product Liability explores these and other liability issues that affect the lives of every American consumer.

Education Reform
Well-educated citizens are valuable assets in today's competitive global economy, but many observers contend the United States lags behind other developed nations in providing quality education to students. Millions of high school students drop out or graduate unprepared for a job or higher education. Dropout rates and school failure are highest in low-income schools and among minorities, leading many to complain about inequities in the system. What should be done to improve education and to prepare students for the world? What are the most effective ways to measure student achievement? Other questions concern "school choice," the role of government in regulating and funding schools, and the pros and cons of teachers' unions.
