This book is intended to provide the first-year torts student with a comprehensive picture of tort law, combined with an introduction to legal reasoning, civil procedure, dispute resolution & ethical considerations. While not slighting the classics & the old favorites, the book conveys a sense of the dynamic nature of tort law by keeping the materials as current as possible & by providing discussion of major developments & trends. The problems highlight some of the particularly thorny areas of tort law & pull together strands of related materials into a cohesive fabric. The problems may be used as primary teaching tools, additional hypotheticals or review materials. Teacher's Manual Casebook also available electronically.
