Perspectives on Tort Law

With Robert Rabin’s Perspectives on Tort Law, students will gain a thorough understanding of the relevant legal principles – case by case, issue by issue. Presenting the text as an exploration of the ideological roots of tort law, the material can be used as either a supplementary volume in an introductory course or as the primary text in an advanced course or seminar.

Look for this text to include:

• Essays written over the past century by tort scholars Oliver Wendell Holmes, Charles Gregory, James Henderson, and others on the development and rationale of the United States tort system
• Extensive coverage of consideration of liability for unintentional harm , along with additional coverage of negligence, strict liability, no-fault compensation systems, and references to foreign systems
