Torts, A Contemporary Approach

by Meredith Duncan, Ronald Turner, Rory Bahadur

This casebook is organized to facilitate the study of law in the first year of law school with a focus on the study of tort law in particular. The text begins with an overview of tort law, pointing out distinctions between tort law and other types of law. It then covers intentional torts, negligence actions, and strict liability, covering all topics in detail. The materials presented build on foundational principles by exploring more advanced tort subjects such as nuisance, products liability, and defamation and privacy law. This versatile textbook includes classic cases as well as contemporary cases relevant to today’s students. In addition to having discussion questions and hypotheticals throughout, the text also includes graphics illustrating many of the principles covered throughout the text. The text is available in both hardbound and electronic format and features Internet links for the student’s use.

Did not enjoy this book. Typos sprinkled throughout. The intros to sections were spectacularly unhelpful; some had little blurbs about what you're supposed to be learning, others had no words at all, just a title and then a case from the 1800s that explained nothing. And don't even get me started about the discussion questions at the end. In all my other casebooks the questions after the cases provide clarity. Not so here -- these questions are mostly hypotheticals that don't really help you understand what you just read at all. A couple of them instructed me to google tort terms or constructs myself, and I've got to say that being told to google things from my $360 textbook almost had me sending it through the drywall. All these pages and you couldn't just tell me yourself? Thumbs down.
