The new edition focuses on the current controversies in Tort law. Changes in the law endorsed by the Restatement (3rd) are explored. The casebook strives to invigorate the study of intentional torts by going beyond the traditional personal injury approach. Battery is considered in its increasing application in environmental litigation. The torts of intentional interference with contractual and economic relations, which almost all students will encounter in whatever field of practice(e.g. corporate, entertainment, public interest) they ultimately choose are introduced in the basic intentional tort section including the case that nearly bankrupt Texaco and the potential liability of an environmental public interest group for encouraging a boycott. The negligence section addresses controversies ranging from parental liability for failure to prevent a child from committing homicides, mental distress for exposure to toxic pollutants to tobacco industry liability. The necessity defense is considered in the context of Katrina. Negligence is critiqued from feminist, economic and other perspectives. Cases have been selected for their teachability and stimulation for students. Notes are straight forward to allow professors freedom to focus on policy concerns.

Concise yet comprehensive Cases and Materials on Torts gives 1Ls a solid foundation in the historical evolution of doctrine and social and economic theory to apply to contemporary issues facing courts. Cases and Materials on Torts preserves historical and conceptual continuity between the present and the past, while addressing the most significant contemporary controversy in fast-moving areas like public nuisance, global warming, products liability, and new litigation against internet providers. Towards our dual ends, the Thirteenth Edition retains the great older cases, both English and American, that have proved themselves time and again in the classroom, and which continue to exert great influence on the modern law. This book also provides a rich exploration of the dominant corrective justice and deterrence (or prevention of harm) approaches to tort law, as exemplified both in the retained and new cases and materials. New to the Thirteenth Edition: ● Developments at the cutting edge of public nuisance law, including the opioids crisis, global warming, and the sale of guns. ● Expanded consideration of the duties of online platforms, as illustrated by vicarious liability against Uber; products liability against Snapchat for defective algorithmic design and against Amazon for sale of defective goods; and novel claims of affirmative duties to rescue on Facebook and rideshare companies. ● Developments in drug litigation, including duties to report adverse events to regulators post-approval and “innovator liability” on brand-name manufacturers for failure to warn by generic manufacturers. ● Recent transformations in setting of compensatory damage awards, with the addition of draft materials of the Restatement (Third) of Torts: Remedies, including matters relating to race and gender. ● A more streamlined casebook appropriate for a comprehensive 1L Torts course. Professors and students will benefit from: ● Clear organizational framework of the book ● Important historical lines of cases that help understand legal reasoning and the evolution of precedent ● Inclusion of key academic commentary and elaboration of central intellectual disputes over the nature and function of the tort law ● Extensive notes with topic headlines that elaborate basic concepts through relevant cases, both old and new, that help shape the most complex contemporary issues facing courts ● Great attention given to cutting edge tort developments

Written first and foremost as a teaching tool, Torts: Cases and Materials, is a casebook that engages students without avoiding the hard questions. Modeled on the venerable Prosser casebook, but intended to be modern, accessible, and yet sophisticated, this book consistently gets high marks from students for being clear, user-friendly, and not playing hide-the-ball like so many other casebooks. Challenging hypotheticals and authors’ dialogues engage students while allowing instructors to probe more deeply into ambiguous or developing areas of law. The book’s manageable length makes it ideal for a three- to four-hour introductory Torts course. New to the Fifth Edition: Cases that are judiciously edited, so as to let the judges’ voices be heard, along with the inclusion of dissenting opinions where important. Numerous recent cases have been added both in the notes and as principal cases, while old material has been pruned back to reduce unnecessary bulk. Continued integration of the Third Restatement throughout the book, including caselaw development following the new Restatement (particularly in the area of foreseeability, duty, and proximate cause). Professors and student will benefit from: Text designed to clarify the law, not further befuddle students. Explanations, note cases, and hypotheticals that are aimed at increasing understanding. Writing style written in a conversational manner to be plain-spoken and transparent about both the law and the authors’ pedagogical goals.

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.

This casebook is designed for the professor who takes seriously the often-articulated goals of teaching case analysis and the impact of social and economic factors on the common law. Enough of the majority opinions, and often the dissenting opinions, is presented to illustrate how the cases fit together with precedents and to enable students to evaluate competing arguments. The latest edition, though streamlined from previous editions, adds both coverage of emerging areas of liability, including claims under the alien tort statute, and traditional torts applied in new factual contexts, such as cyberspace and bio-medical engineering.
