Author Description

Traditionally organized along doctrinal lines with the exception of Chapter 5, which treats duty and proximate causation as related concepts. Streamlined chapters on intentional torts, standard of care in negligence, and causation. (A teacher can start with either intentional torts or negligence.) This enables a teacher to finish these basic materials in time to cover some of the more complex subjects that are the source of much current litigation, such as comparative responsibility schemes, multiparty litigation, products liability, communications torts, and business torts.
