This leading casebook covers all major aspects of tort law with
expertly edited cases and original text. The principal focus of
this book is the law of negligence, strict liability, and no-fault
legislation as alternative approaches to compensating the victims
of accidental harm and creating optimal incentives for safety. The
chapter on intentional torts has been restructured to facilitate
its use to start off the course for those instructors desiring to
do so. The book also includes comprehensive chapters on products
liability, damages and insurance, defamation, privacy, economic
torts, and a revamped and updated chapter on alternatives to tort
law, including the "tort reforms" of the past half century. Notes
and questions following principal cases are designed to supplement
students' knowledge about the subject matter of the case and
related areas as well as to encourage them to think critically
about judicial opinions and tort policy. This Eleventh Edition
reflects evolving developments in recent case law and legislative
activity, as well as materials and commentary ranging from the
soon-to-be completed Third Restatement project on Intentional Torts
to continuing tort issues arising from the Internet to important
civil justice issues of the day.
