The US tort law has fascinated many Iranian scholars and jurists. Yet, many of the comparative studies lack the necessary elements of a high-quality legal research. Different factors attribute to this problem. Among these factors are lack of in depth knowledge of the US legal system, incorrect translation of legal texts, incorrect citations and lack of access to resources. Furthermore, understanding the ways we can incorporate the US based tort law theories in Iran should be accompanied with the understanding of Iran’s socio-economic status. In addition, the tort law reform movement has been the subject of many debates in the USA and its consequences has been left out as a key factor in many Iranian comparative tort law works. In this article, we try to identify some of the problems of comparative studies about the US tort law system in Iran and put forward new ways and initiatives to address them.
