Combining excellence in scholarship and ease of use, this best-selling casebook engages readers in and encourages critical thinking about tort law with its compelling stories, crisply edited classic tort cases, and discussion of legislation and new public policy. Unbiased in its approach and organized in manageable sections of information, the casebook expands law students’ understanding of tort law doctrine and rationale with helpful notes, memorable cases and statutes, and discussion of topics such as the increasing influence of legislatures on the common law of torts.This immensely popular casebook combines the best of the new tort cases while preserving the classics. It captures new trends and controversies in the law of torts, but the cases and notes are presented to allow the Professor to inject his or her perspectives and ideas without fighting the materials. Case selection for principal and note cases favors exemplifying cutting-edge doctrine and policy, while favoring me

5.0 out of 5 stars You know it is a good casebook when the author is cited in the cases that are in the casebook
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2011

I said it in the title of my review and I will say it again, you know that you have a great casebook when the author has cases in the book that cite the author as an authority of the law on the cases in the casebook. This is seriously the best casebook I have had my 1L year. It has very short and to the point cases. According to my professor, this is actually one of the most well known casebooks because of that fact. 3 weeks into the semester, I have already seen two cases which cited Prosser (the first and original author of this casebook) This book has been edited and continually updated by other authors, and remains to be one of the best Tort Law Casebooks there are.

If you are luck enough to have Prosser's Torts book in your 1L year, you will learn to love an appreciate the editing of the cases in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Law of Torts

This book contains cases and actual legal principles, along with actual statutes, about the law governing Torts (Assault, Battery, False Imprisonment, Negligence, Vicarious Liability, Strict Liability, Product Liability, and various defense). Great book for learning about numerous torts in civil matters and how the relevant law applies to various legal principles and factual scenarios.

As far as text books go...Not too bad. I didn't really have a choice since it was an assigned text for my First Year Torts Class. I kept it around because who knows I may use it to study for the bar exam.

Great read. Keep in mind this book only has cases (which you extract the rules and educational material from).

This text is perfect for a torts class. Just wish it wasn't so choppy with the sections for Neg >.<

As good as a casebook of this kind gets. Really engaging. Lots of detail where appropriate, glossing over where detail would only confuse the issue at hand.

As a law student this book is required for class and no way around it. What can I say, read the cases, brief them, and study hard to memoriza the elemts of the torts.
