Description

Cases and Materials on Torts 6th Edition David W. Robertson ISBN 9798887862644

The casebook follows the traditional doctrinal sequence while highlighting how tort cases are actually litigated and resolved in practice. Instructors may choose to begin with either intentional torts or negligence. Chapter 1 grounds the doctrinal discussion by introducing trial court procedures in tort litigation, connecting legal theory to procedural realities. Chapter 2 presents a focused overview of intentional torts and their defenses. Chapter 3 introduces negligence through a streamlined emphasis on breach of duty and substandard conduct, providing a clear analytical framework for assessing liability.

The chapters that follow examine the remaining elements of a negligence claim, the primary defenses to negligence liability, and the core principles of multi-party litigation. The final chapters—addressing comparative fault and proportionate liability, medical malpractice, common law strict liability, products liability, and nuisance—highlight the contemporary integration of legal doctrine, policy considerations, and litigation strategy.
