Description

The Torts Process, Ninth Editionuses a student-friendly, procedurally-focused approach that relies on proven problem-and-cases pedagogy to illuminate the overarching structure and organization of tort law. Its lively mix of problems, cases, notes, and questions stimulate thought and discussion, while providing a firm foundation in tort doctrine, history, and theory. Comprehensive updating and expansion throughout of the casebook's Law and Behavior notes which summarize social scientific and empirical research on human behavior, legaldecisionmaking, and the tort system. Key Features: Expanded substantive coverage on numerous topics (e.g., market share liability, governmental immunity, insurance, and alternative compensation mechanisms). Revisions reflect contemporary concerns and challenges, such as incorporating a new problem on campus sexual assault and competing consent standards; enhancing an existing problem to raise issues concerning racial profiling/prejudice in the context of terrorist acts by Islamic extremists; and substantial updating of the intentional tort chapter to reflect debates concerning police conduct, race relations, and the psychology of prejudice. New lead cases offer compelling teaching opportunities on a variety of topics, including: The role of duty in tort doctrine The connection between actual and proximate causation The role of trespass and nuisance causes of action in the context of pollution Strict liability for abnormally dangerous activities The role of consumer expectations in design defect litigation Warning defect liability The collateral source role Interpretation of allegedly defamatory statements The actual malice standard for defamation Commercial appropriation, In re NCAAStudent--AthleteName & Likeness LicensingLitig.
