Review & Outlook: Alien Tort Invasion—II - WSJ.com: "One problem with modern law is that it is vulnerable to constant inventions by creative lawyers. A good illustration is the Alien Tort Statute, a 33-word 1789 law—yes, 1789—that was narrowly interpreted until American trial lawyers got into the act. So much the better, then, if the Supreme Court uses this week's Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum case to limit the law's reach once and for all."
