Aspen Treatise for the Law of Torts

Concise yet comprehensive, The Law of Torts illuminates both the basics and the intricacies of tort law for students, courts, and practitioners. The treatise provides a solid foundation in the historical evolution of tort doctrine, and it systematically applies economic analysis and corrective-justice theory to address the major issues facing courts today. The great older cases, both English and American, are presented as lenses through which to reexamine modern disputes, on which they continue to exert great influence. This newly updated edition includes a detailed discussion of the Restatement (Third) of Torts and leading contemporary issues in tort law, including public nuisance, global warming, products liability law, and liability of online entities. This completely updated second edition of The Law of Torts builds on its long-standing strengths:

• Comprehensive Coverage Addresses all topics of the basic Torts, Advanced Torts, Dignitary Torts, and Business Torts courses.
• Quality of Analysis Thought-provoking and balanced discussion of the underlying theories that shape the tort law in both hard and easy cases.
• Clarity of Discussion Presents black-letter tort doctrine through both classic and contemporary case law, making it an appropriate companion to any casebook.

The Law of Torts is an invaluable guide to students seeking a solid command of tort law and to the courts and practitioners who continue to shape it.
