Walter Olson, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, is the author of several books and a well-known commentator on American law. The Washington Post has described him as an "intellectual guru of tort reform," while Investor's Business Daily calls him "perhaps America's leading authority on over-litigation." His earlier books have transformed the way we think of the American legal system. His latest work, Schools for Misrule: Legal Academia and an Overlawyered America, takes a close look at ideological trends in the modern American law school.
