    This week, we are highlighting another of our recent publications by John G. Browning, I Feel Your (Livestreamed) Pain: Virtual Bystander Recovery, 75 Baylor Law Rev. 329. This article examines the trend toward expanding the tort of bystander recovery for negligent infliction of emotional distress to permit recovery for “virtual bystanders”—those whose contemporaneous perception of the serious injury or death of a close family member occurs with the aid of technology (such as FaceTime or livestreaming). As this article discusses, emerging technologies like livestreaming and apps have given users new opportunities to virtually witness events both joyous and tragic. As the legal system refines the bystander recovery doctrine’s other elements, technology is reshaping just what contemporaneous perception now means in our increasingly wired world.
