Glannon Guide to Torts - 5th Edition - Richard L. Hasen

Glannon Guide to Torts 5th Edition Richard L. Hasen ISBN 9798892072892

The proven Glannon Guide is a user-friendly study aid designed to support students throughout the semester as an effective supplement to—or substitute for—classroom lectures. Complex topics are broken into small, manageable pieces and explained in a conversational, often humorous style that mirrors the classroom experience and helps concepts stick.

Each chapter is interwoven with hypotheticals similar to those posed in class, complete with detailed answer explanations to reinforce understanding. Multiple-choice questions appear throughout the chapters—rather than being grouped at the end—so students can test their comprehension as they learn. At the conclusion of each chapter, The Closer presents a sophisticated hypothetical that encourages cumulative review and deeper application of earlier material. A final Closing Closer provides a comprehensive practice opportunity covering the full range of course concepts.

Created by Joseph W. Glannon, a Harvard-educated, best-selling author and originator of the Glannon Guide series, these trusted study aids reflect decades of teaching and learning expertise. This volume is authored by Professor Rick Hasen, Co-Reporter for the Restatement (Third) of Torts: Remedies, ensuring authoritative and up-to-date coverage.
