The Common Law Inside the Female Body

In The Common Law Inside the Female Body, Anita Bernstein explains why lawyers seeking gender progress from primary legal materials should start with the common law. Despite its reputation for supporting conservatism and inequality, today's common law shares important commitments with feminism, namely in precepts and doctrines that strengthen the freedom of individuals and from there the struggle against the subjugation of women. By re-invigorating both the common law - with a focus on crimes, contracts, torts, and property - and feminist jurisprudence, this highly original work anticipates a vital future for a pair of venerable jurisprudential traditions. It should be read by anyone interested in understanding how the common law delivers an extraordinary degree of liberty and security to all persons - women included.

Legal Theory & Systems

Cambridge University Press

Every tort claim for relief, and every affirmative tort defense, has a set of required elements. It is the student's task to learn these elements and to develop an understanding about how to apply them to real and hypothetical fact patterns. Questions &amp; Answers: Torts can help with this task. The book includes 202 questions organized by topic. The multiple-choice questions require students to pick the best of a list, the worst of a list, or the story that illustrates a point of doctrine most effectively. The short answers require analysis of scenarios and communication of discrete points. The Practice Final Exam and Essay Issue-Spotter Questions contain an additional 54 questions.
 The fourth edition features an expanded treatment of Restatement (Third) of Torts, including the work in progress at the American Law Institute on Intentional Torts to Persons. Also new to this edition, the ""Zoom Out"" lists show readers what separate torts topics have in common and how they differ from one another. Multiple-choice questions marked Zoom Out teach these compare-and-contrast strategies using scenarios germane to the twenty-first century. Scenarios include opioid addiction, 3-D printing, pharmaceutical innovation, social media, reality TV, same-sex (and opposite-sex) couples, ungendered (and gender-specific) names for characters, and an online lodging platform that resembles Airbnb.
 The fourth edition of Questions &amp; Answers: Torts gives students a chance to put small amounts of time to good use. The first-year law schedule is demanding-when a few minutes free up, tackling a couple of questions at a sitting provides instant instruction and feedback.

This Understanding treatise is the perfect complement to first-year tort courses and is suitable for use with any tort casebook. Concise and authoritative, Understanding Torts features:

Questions & Answers: Torts offers a thorough review of torts that fits with all versions of a typical torts course. It provides an effective review of doctrinal material at relatively low cost in both time and money. The thorough index and table of contents enable users to easily locate any topic in the torts syllabus. An extended practice exam chapter, which does not announce which topics are covered, gives users the option of "hiding the ball" when testing themselves. <div>The principal technology of this book is the multiple choice question. Each one gives four alternative answers--and with no evasions like "all of the above" or "B and C only"--along with explanations that have been road-tested with torts students for utility and clarity. In recognition of bar exam and academic support considerations, the fifth edition has increased the percentage of questions that are multiple choice, while retaining short answers that give users a chance to put doctrine into their own words.</div> <div>Some questions are relatively easy, a few relatively hard. Many questions are written as anecdotes with human characters, to simulate the case method of instruction, others ask about abstract points. Although core doctrine fills most of this book, it also includes jurisprudential material like economic analysis and "policy" questions. The index labels these jurisprudential questions as "theory/policy" for ease of identification.</div>
