Foundations of Tort Law by Saul X. Levmore Pdf

Combining many classics of the tort literature with provocative new materials using a broad range of approaches--including law and economics, law and philosophy, feminist theory, critical legal studies, legal history, comparative law, law and society, and positive political theory--this reader by a noted scholar in the field illuminates the full spectrum of modern thinking about the subject. Brief questions at the conclusion of each reading encourage the student to consider the strengths, weaknesses, and ambiguities of each theory, and how it may apply to a familiar torts problem. Exploring such issues as the role of fault, means of social control, liability at the workplace, and tort reform, this volume is the perfect sourcebook for the study of tort law. This is the second volume in the Interdisciplinary Readers in Law series (Roberta Romano, General Editor). Designed as a collection of supplementary texts for law school courses, the series collects important essays from leading lawyers, economists, political scientists, philosophers, historians, and legal scholars, reflecting the broad range of scholarship that informs contemporary law. Other volumes in the series include Foundations of Corporate Law (Roberta Romano, Editor), Foundations of Administrative Law (Peter Schuck, Editor), and Foundations of Contract Law (Richard Craswell and Alan Schwartz, Editors).

Tort Law by Keith N. Hylton Pdf

Tort Law: A Modern Perspective is an advanced yet accessible introduction to tort law for lawyers, law students, and others. Reflecting the way tort law is taught today, it explains the cases and legal doctrines commonly found in casebooks using modern ideas about public policy, economics, and philosophy. With an emphasis on policy rationales, Tort Law encourages readers to think critically about the justifications for legal doctrines. Although the topic of torts is specific, the conceptual approach should pay dividends to those who are interested broadly in regulatory policy and the role of law. Incorporating three decades of advancements in tort scholarship, Tort Law is the textbook for modern torts classrooms.

Tort Law by Mark Lunney,Ken Oliphant Pdf

This new Text, Cases and Materials adopts a modern approach to the law of tort, presenting the key cases and statutes alongside a selection of the most important critical writings on the law. A variety of critical perspectives (economic, leftist, feminist, etc) are explored. The aimthroughout is to present tort law as a living entity, responding to contemporary stimuli at each stage of its development. Each section begins with a textual introduction by the authors; more detailed commentary follows the extracts. It will be useful both as a stand-alone coursebook and also as atraditional sourcebook supplementing an independent text. Tort Law is easier to follow and more suitable for use as a stand-alone coursebook than many of its competitors for several reasons. First, it includes a higher proportion of text to extracts; it also incorporates a greater number of extracts from critical writings on the law, thus representing awider range of critical perspectives than are found in rival sourcebooks
