In this updated and refreshed version of his concise book Professor Schechter, an award-winning teacher and prominent national bar lecturer, has balanced brevity and humor with a clear, crisp, and accessible review of basic Torts doctrine. His comprehensive survey includes not only thorough coverage of core topics such as negligence and strict products liability, but an overview of economic and dignitary torts, damages issues, and vicarious liability as well. This best-selling, highly rated Torts book has proven hugely popular with students. As the series title promises, the author has kept it short, and the book will make students happy.
I got this to get a handle on Torts, since the Contracts one was so helpful in Contracts. This was also great, but I didn't finish reading it before the exam (and I did fine), and now I'm not making myself finish it when I've got a whole new term's worth of reading to get busy on. I strongly recommend this series for the concrete overviews of areas of the law. (And they tend to be pretty funny.)
