Tort Law and Practice

Complete with a new co-author, the seventh edition of Tort Law and Practice continues to provide a rich and inclusive context for the study of tort law fundamentals and underlying policies. The innovative, student-centered casebook, which has been well-received by law students since its inception, thoroughly develops core tort principles and enhances student learning through the use of cases, notes, questions, element summaries, flowcharts, and problems. The book includes both short problems and others that are more akin to examination questions. Adopters have access to Carolina Academic Press's Core Knowledge for Lawyers materials that include multiple choice questions, short answer questions, short problems, and longer essay questions, all with answers and explanations.

The casebook provides frequent opportunities to consider tort law in a social justice context relevant to class, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. For example, the casebook includes a section on fairness in tort damages, a topic often overlooked by other casebooks. The book includes a diversity and inclusion index to help locate these materials.

The seventh edition is accompanied by an expended teachers manual.

Core Knowledge for Lawyers content for this book will be available in Fall 2025.
