Torts and Compensation, Personal Accountability and Social Responsibility for Injury

by Dan Dobbs, Paul Hayden, Ellen Bublick

Dobbs, Hayden & Bublick’s Torts and Compensation is a perennial student and faculty favorite, written by the authors of the leading Torts treatise. As with the previous eight editions, it contains the most up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of Tort law available. It includes dozens of new cases (both primary cases and case citations in notes) that were decided since the publication of the 8th edition of the casebook in 2017. Topics given new or expanded treatment include qualified immunity in §1983 cases; battery by “gif”; trespass in cases involving drones and fracking; liability of Amazon as a seller in products liability actions; and defamation over the internet.

My favorite 1L fall textbook - they kept the cases short and sweet and it was organized logically (other than the proximate cause section). Not too much mindless droning in the notes (thank you).

Clear and fun to read for a law school textbook. The only readings I ever enjoyed from 1L year were in this book.
