Online resources: We live in a world of one-size-fits-all law. People are different, but the laws that govern them are uniform. Personalized law - rules that vary person by person - will change that. Here is a vision of a brave new world, where each person is bound by their own personally tailored law. 'Reasonable person' standards would be replaced by a multitude of personalized commands, each individual with their own 'reasonable you' rule. Skilled doctors would be held to higher standards of care; the most vulnerable consumers and employees would receive stronger protections; age restrictions for driving or for the consumption of alcohol would vary according to the recklessness risk that each person poses; and borrowers would be entitled to personalized loan disclosures tailored to their unique needs and delivered in a format fitting their mental capacity.
