Torts and Compensation: Personal Accountability and Social Responsibility for Injury (American Casebook Series)

The problems embodied in this book differ from the usual academic presentation in several ways. First, students are not initially confronted with an authoritative statement of "law" but with facts and human problems. Second, except in the four introductory chapters, the problems are not organized to present an orderly sequence of remedies rules. Instead, they are organized around diverse factual settings, so the issues come to the student just as they come to lawyers in practice-helter-skelter. Requires students to work analytically, not in an organization dictated by the logic of a casebook.

This easy-to-use doctrinal favorite incorporates many cases decided within the last several years. It emphasizes personal injury torts, including civil rights torts, but also covers non-tort systems of compensation, including social security and workers' compensation. Several chapters deal with current medical malpractice and products liability law. (The malpractice chapter has a new section on nursing home liability.) Shorter chapters cover economic and dignitary torts such as defamation, privacy, fraud and others. In approach, this book attempts to present basic concepts such as duty, negligence, cause, scope of risk, and comparative responsibility by using cases and notes that ask for thoughtful analysis and synthesis, as well as respect for facts and policy. The book also investigates such current issues as tort reform and apportionment of responsibility.

The Law of Torts (Practioner Treatise Series)

Bublick, Ellen M.

This edition reflects new developments in cases, topics, and academic contributions to tort law. The user will find more than 25 main cases new to this edition and more than 30 new case abstracts, in addition to many new case citations. A few of the cases new to this edition antedate the third edition, but no less than twelve were decided in 2000. Some important changes that have influenced this edition were not changes in the law. Torts and Compensation, Fourth Edition has been revised to better reflect the cultural attitudes and preoccupations of students entering the 21st Century. Moreover, the new edition benefits from the authors' experience in teaching the materials, as well as from the suggestions made by their students and other teachers. As with the previous editions, the new edition focuses primarily (though not exclusively) on injury law, and it includes tort law's neighbors-workers' compensation, no-fault, and social security disability. Throughout, the authors seek to challenge students to build professional skills in analysis and synthesis, in policy judgment and in a sense of justice.
