Prosser, Wade, and Schwartz's Torts, Cases and Materials - 15th Edition

Prosser Wade and Schwartz's Torts Cases and Materials 15th Edition - 9798887865522

Through its excellence in scholarship, clarity, and ease of use, this casebook engages readers in critical thinking about tort law and its operation in modern social and technological contexts.

It presents crisply edited classic tort cases, new trends in tort law, and nuances in developing case law that impact the law and its real-world application. Principal cases are retained for their enduring relevance, while new cases are included to reflect important legal changes and current doctrine effectively. Beyond judicial decisions, the casebook includes key tort-centered legislation and comparative perspectives where relevant.

In this new edition, notes have been reorganized and labeled for clarity, and Chapter 1 now includes an overview of the torts practice landscape and a procedural map of a typical torts case.

Updates in the remaining chapters address key issues such as aiding and abetting (Chapter 2), causation (Chapters 4 and 5), negligence duties (Chapter 8), implied authority (Chapter 13), new frameworks for nuisance liability (Chapter 16), and emerging considerations from disinformation and generative AI (Chapters 17 and 18). Some chapters, like Chapter 24 on compensation systems, have been streamlined where appropriate.

The new edition also incorporates the latest projects from the Restatement (Third) of Torts throughout.

This casebook encourages students to understand the English and American common law foundations of tort law and to debate modern trends within various policy frameworks. Unbiased in its approach and organized into manageable sections, it is a long-tested and superb tool for productive and stimulating classroom debate. Maintaining neutrality of viewpoint has been the aspiration of every author, and the casebook has served generations of students in opening avenues of inquiry.

The authors are an outstanding combination of respected scholars and practitioners. Victor Schwartz, an advisor on the first three sections of the Restatement (Third) of Torts: Products Liability, Apportionment of Liability, and Physical and Emotional Harm, and David Partlett, Professor Emeritus at Emory Law School and an advisor on several Restatements, most recently the Restatement (Third) of Torts: Defamation and Privacy.

They have been joined in the 15th edition by two new editors: Jonathan Cardi, Professor at Wake Forest Law School and Associate Reporter of the Restatement (Third) of Torts: Intentional Torts, and Alexandra Lahav, Professor at Cornell Law School, who serves as an advisor on the Restatement of Torts: Miscellaneous Provisions and Constitutional Torts.
