Carolina Academic Press

This casebook takes a modern approach to the learning that takes place in the first year of law school. It utilizes a mix of classic Torts cases and more recent cases, and the notes are limited in number and length to keep students engaged. 
Each chapter begins with an outline of key concepts and also a hypothetical set of facts that students can use to orient themselves throughout the chapter. There are also short problems throughout each chapter, which build on the chapter-opening hypothetical, requiring students to apply the law. At the end of each chapter or section there is a short issue-spotting essay question related to chapter content. 
A comprehensive teacher's manual provides answers to every question in the casebook. 
486 PowerPoint slides are available for adopters. View a sample presentation here. If you are a professor using this book for a class, please contact Rachael Meier at remeier@cap-press.com to request your slides.

Torts: A Modern Approach

Baxter, Teri

Advanced Torts focuses primarily on tort theories that are not covered in significant detail in the standard first-semester Torts course. However, the book explores these topics with a particular emphasis on how they apply to lawyers engaged in the practice of law. Thus, students learn about defamation, interference with contractual relations, etc. while reading cases and working through problems that frequently involve lawyers as litigants. Given the reality that a lawyer is more likely to be sued for malpractice or some related theory during the lawyer's career than it is the lawyer will face professional discipline, the subject matter of the book should resonate with students in a way that most Advanced Torts books do not. The book covers the theories of liability often addressed in Advanced Torts courses, and some of the cases do not involve lawyers as parties. In this sense, the book is general enough that it can be used in any Advanced Torts class. However, it also includes material that should be of special concern for lawyers, including several chapters devoted to legal malpractice. Thus, it could be used in an Advanced Torts class as well as a stand-alone class devoted to legal malpractice and related theories of liability. Throughout the book, the authors make a conscious effort to help aspiring lawyers develop their professional identities as they learn the doctrine. This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Bowen School of Law.

The Professional Responsibility book in our Developing Professional Skills series―used as a supplement to your regular text book―makes it easy to integrate skills training into the professional responsibility classroom. The book contains ten exercises designed to develop practice skills of legal drafting, client interviewing and counseling, negotiation, and advocacy. Students spend a manageable one to two hours on tasks including: 
<ul>
<li>counseling a law student about bar admission;</li>
<li>negotiating a sales agreement, consistent with ethical obligations to be honest in dealings with third parties;</li>
<li>acting as bar counsel seeking discipline against an attorney for violating confidentiality obligations through online comments;</li>
<li>preparing time entries in client billing statements that are consistent with a lawyer’s obligations to clients; and</li>
