Synopsis: This casebook is a teaching tool. Tort law is about real people and real injuries, and the cases in this book reflect that reality. As with the previous editions, challenging contemporary cases and issues are presented without straying too far from the classic cases and the core of lawyering--thoughtful analysis and criticism. Students are engaged without mystifying them, and-- with the contributions of the professors who teach this book--to spark a lifelong interest in law in general and in tort law in particular. The Concise Edition attempts to present the core of tort law in personal injury and property damage cases in a shorter form that makes it possible to teach the central materials in a four-hour course. This edition contains numerous citations to the Restatements of Torts, and sometimes to the Restatements of Agency or other areas of relevant law.
