The Torts Process (9th Edition) – eBook

The Torts Process, 9th Edition, (PDF/ePub/AZW3) uses a very student-friendly, procedurally-emphasized approach that relies on proven problem-and-cases education to illuminate the overarching structure and organization of tort law. Its lively mix of problems, notes, cases, and questions stimulate discussion and thought while providing a firm foundation in tort doctrine, history, and theory.

Comprehensive updating and expansion throughout the casebook’s “Law and Behavior” notes which summarize social scientific and empirical research on human behavior, legal decisionmaking, and the tort system.

Key Features:

Expanded substantive coverage on numerous topics (e.g., governmental immunity, market share liability, insurance, and alternative compensation mechanisms).

Revisions reflect contemporary challenges and concerns, such as incorporating a new problem on campus sexual assault and competing for consent standards; substantial updating of the intentional tort chapter to reflect debates concerning police conduct, race relations, and the psychology of prejudice; and enhancing an existing problem to raise issues concerning racial profiling/prejudice in the context of terrorist acts by Islamic extremists

New lead cases offer compelling teaching opportunities on a variety of topics, including:

• Warning defect liability
• The collateral source role
• The role of duty in tort doctrine
• Strict liability for abnormally dangerous activities
• The connection between proximate and actual causation
• The role of consumer expectations in design defect litigation
• The role of nuisance and trespass causes of action in the context of pollution
