Professor Keith Hylton, Honorable Paul J. Lucas Professor of Law from the Boston University School of Law headlined this year’s Monsanto Lecture on Tort Jurisprudence on Thursday, April 23rd. His lecture entitled, “Intent in Tort Law,” focused on the objective theory of intent and its relation to positive theories of intent standards derived from common law principles set forth by Oliver Wendell Holmes. Professor Hylton was amicable and well-spoken as he discussed examples of his tort theory and entertained questions from both students and professors. The reception immediately following the lecture provided an opportunity for discussion about Professor Hylton’s other endeavors, such as his United States Supreme Court amicus brief filings involving State Farm and Philip Morris and his involvement with The Torts and Products Liability Abstracts Journal for the Social Science Research Network.
