This Advanced Torts Book is designed for a two or three hour tort course for students who have had a basic tort class and wish to pursue in-depth some of the important topics of tort law that are either not covered or not covered in much depth in their basic tort course. Unlike some advance torts texts that devote much of their attention to economic and business torts, products liability or toxic torts, this book offers materials on a number of areas: trespass and nuisance, economic torts, products liability, insurance, tort reform and non-tort compensation systems, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, privacy, misuse of legal process and constitutional torts.
"This text, primarily used for first year law students, discusses tort law, which deals with wrongful acts or injury that lead to physical, emotional, or financial damage to a person in which another person could be held legally responsible."--
This book promotes a learning by doing approach to comparative tort law. Students are invited to solve a scenario according to the laws of several jurisdictions and to reflect upon the most appropriate approach and solution.
Covers occupational disease, vocational rehabilitation, "stress" claims, and "reform" efforts designed to stem the rising costs of the system. Early chapters explore the historical foundations of workers' compensation, its economic theory underpinnings, and its current relationship with FELA, Social Security, OSHA, and tort litigation. Includes expanded materials addressing the scope and exceptions to the exclusive remedy doctrine.
This leading casebook covers all major aspects of tort law with expertly edited cases and original text. The principal focus of this book is the law of negligence, strict liability, and no-fault legislation as alternative approaches to compensating the victims of accidental harm and creating optimal incentives for safety. The chapter on intentional torts has been restructured to facilitate its use to start off the course for those instructors desiring to do so. The book also includes comprehensive chapters on products liability, damages and insurance, defamation, privacy, economic torts, and a revamped and updated chapter on alternatives to tort law, including the "tort reforms" of the past half century. Notes and questions following principal cases are designed to supplement students' knowledge about the subject matter of the case and related areas as well as to encourage them to think critically about judicial opinions and tort policy. This Eleventh Edition reflects evolving developments in recent case law and legislative activity, as well as materials and commentary ranging from the soon-to-be completed Third Restatement project on Intentional Torts to continuing tort issues arising from the Internet to important civil justice issues of the day.
Each section begins with a clear overview of the key points of the law, before fully explaining and illustrating the topic through substantial case extracts and further commentary."--BOOK JACKET.

The Concise Version is newly streamlined for professors who teach a four-unit course or who want to cover fewer pages per day yet to retain complete coverage. The Concise Edition tracks the Standard Edition, but aims at cutting an additional 200 pages by trimming notes and cases and omitting some cases in favor of a short textual summary, or in one instance, substituting a shorter case. It also omits defamation, fraud, and other economic and dignitary torts, as well as some practice-oriented material. The result is a substantially shorter casebook that nevertheless provides the coverage most teachers want.

The result is a substantially shorter casebook that nevertheless provides the coverage most teachers want.
