Book Overview
Studies in American Tort Law is a careful mix of law, policy, ethics, and economics designed for first-year torts courses. Recognizing that torts is a prime battleground for social policy, this book seeks to reflect not only the current rules on injury compensation, but also the policy choices underlying those rules. The text moves from simple concepts and elementary rules to ones that are more complex or elusive. Within a clear, doctrinal framework, a range of views is presented, reflecting dominant themes in tort law, such as fault, proportionality, deterrence, internationalization of costs, and distribution of losses. These views are explored with special attention to issues at the cutting-edge of 21st century tort litigation. The fifth edition reflects the highly dynamic nature of the torts field. The book includes thirty-one new principal cases, hundreds of citations to recent opinions and statutes, and comprehensive references to the Restatement (Third) of Torts. The full set of PowerPoint slides are available to professors upon adoption of this book, but you may view sample slides now here. If you have adopted this book for a course, contact bhall (at) cap-press (dot) com to request the PowerPoint slides.

Much more readable than the case book I used for my Torts 1 class. The explanations and notes are easier to follow and better written.

What can I say- this is a regular 1st year law school case book. I would recommend that if you buy this, you should also buy "Mastering Torts" by the same author as it explains things in summary and in layman's terms.
