Essentials of Torts

by William P. Statsky

"Essentials of Torts, 2nd Edition" provides students with a comprehensive overview of the law of torts. With an emphasis on the basics as well as the current "hot topics" in the field, this text is a condensed version of Statsky's "Personal Injury Litigation, 4th Edition" and is ideal for instructors in need of a shorter text. "Essentials of Torts, 2nd Edition" focuses on paralegal roles in tort litigation. It offers greater attention to constitutional law, particularly in the areas of civil rights, defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The text includes a checklist of definitions, defenses, relationships, paralegal roles and research references for each major tort discussed.
