Description

Cases and Materials on Torts 5th Edition Robertson

ISBN 9781634608671

Organized along traditional doctrinal lines, this casebook provides students with a clear and practical understanding of how tort law operates in the real-world context of litigation and settlement. Designed to reflect the flow of actual tort disputes, the book teaches students not only substantive doctrine but also how tort law functions to resolve conflicts in trial courts and through negotiation.

The structure of the casebook is flexible, allowing instructors to begin either with intentional torts or with negligence, depending on their preferred course design. The opening chapter introduces students to the procedural framework of tort litigation, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of substantive rules. Chapter Two offers a concise and accessible overview of intentional torts and their defenses, while Chapter Three provides a focused introduction to negligence, beginning with the essential concept of breach of duty and substandard conduct.

From there, the book proceeds logically through the key elements of negligence, including causation and damages, before turning to core defenses to liability and the complexities of multiparty litigation. The final chapters cover specialized areas of tort law, such as medical malpractice, strict liability under the common law, products liability, and nuisance.

Throughout, the casebook emphasizes how tort doctrine is applied in practice, providing students with the tools they need to understand legal principles, analyze real-world disputes, and anticipate litigation strategies. Whether used in a one-semester or two-semester course, this casebook equips students with a thorough grounding in tort law and prepares them to think like practicing lawyers.

Rental Terms

Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.

Late Fees: Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
Damage Fees: Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
Return Shipping: Returning your book is free: print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page, whether you send it back early or on the semester deadline. Cancelling a shipped rental for a refund is different: there, the return label cost comes out of your refund.
30-Day Cancellation: Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
