Description

Written first and foremost as a teaching tool, Torts: Cases and Materials, is a casebook that engages students without avoiding the hard questions. Modeled on the venerable Prosser casebook, but intended to be modern, accessible, and sophisticated, this book consistently gets high marks from students for being clear, user-friendly, and not playing hide-the-ball like so many other casebooks. Challenging hypotheticals and authors’ dialogues engage students while allowing instructors to probe more deeply into ambiguous or developing areas of law. The book’s manageable length makes it ideal for a three- to four-hour introductory Torts course. New to the 6th Edition: • Cases that are judiciously edited, so as to let the judges’ voices be heard, along with the inclusion of dissenting opinions where important. • Numerous recent cases have been added both in the notes and as principal cases, while old material has been pruned back to reduce unnecessary bulk. • Continued integration of the Third Restatement throughout the book, including caselaw development following the new Restatement (particularly in the area of foreseeability, duty, and proximate cause). Professors and student will benefit from: • Designed to clarify the law, not befuddle students. • Explanations, note cases, and hypotheticals increase understanding. • Written in the authors’ voices, the book is plain-spoken and transparent about both the law and the authors’ pedagogical goals. • Based on student and professor surveys, the book has been hailed as one of the most user-friendly casebooks that students use in law school as reflected in student evaluations of faculty. • The comprehensive Teachers’ Manual informs instructors about developing issues, point out important secondary literature, and answer the questions raised in the notes and hypotheticals.
