Tort Law: Responsibilities and Redress

by John C.P. Goldberg, Leslie Kendrick, Anthony J. Sebok

Tort Responsibilities and Redress presents tort law as a complex but coherent subject. The authors have arranged the materials to be both highly sophisticated and extremely user friendly. This book has been adopted at schools across the country and always receives high praise from faculty and students for its relevant, contemporary cases, extensive and informative notes, and its 500+ page, cradle-to-grave Teacher’s Manual. The Fifth Edition of Tort Responsibilities and Redress has been updated to reflect the very latest developments in tort law, including discussions of new developments in civil rights law (pertaining especially to excessive force claims against police), as well as public nuisance, toxic torts, and new draft provisions of the Third Restatement of Intentional Torts to Persons. The book also contains “Check Your Understanding,” “Big Think,” and “Did You Know?” text boxes designed to enable students to engage in self-assessment, along with a user-friendly page layout. A comprehensive set of high-quality PowerPoint slides covering all principal cases is also available to adopters.

Eh. Didn’t know what a tort was before reading this and now I do so that’s a win

[Libby · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tort law cases are both interesting and really disheartening, but I thought this casebook made most of the concepts clear. As with most of my case books, I did not read the whole thing, but it took up enough of my reading life that I'm counting it!
