Description
Private Law: A Casebook for Master's Degree Students Russell Korobkin ISBN 9781685611118
LL.M. and Legal Master’s degree students deserve the same strong foundation in American law afforded to J.D. students, yet their programs typically allow only a fraction of the instructional time. This innovative casebook is designed to meet that challenge by delivering a comprehensive introduction to property law, tort law, and contract law within a single, carefully structured course.
The book follows a coherent conceptual arc that traces how the law assigns property rights, protects those rights, and facilitates their transfer. This unifying framework enables students to understand core legal doctrines not as isolated subjects, but as interconnected components of a functional legal system.
Approximately 25% of the text is devoted to property law, covering the initial allocation of property rights, including intellectual property (copyright and patent), as well as trespass, nuisance, and other intangible rights. Another 25% addresses tort law, introducing intentional torts through the law of battery and providing an in-depth treatment of negligence as the central organizing principle of modern tort doctrine. The remaining 50% focuses on contract law, offering thorough coverage of contract formation, defenses to enforcement, interpretation, conditions, excuses, and remedies.
Each chapter is designed for efficient and effective learning, featuring a clear narrative introduction, carefully selected excerpts from the Restatements, principal cases, and three discussion problems drawn from real cases. Together, these elements ensure that students gain both doctrinal understanding and practical analytical skills, making this casebook an ideal foundational resource for LL.M. and Legal Master’s degree programs seeking depth, coherence, and efficiency without sacrificing rigor.

Shipping & Returns
-
Fast, standard shipping
Most students receive their books in 3 to 9 business days.
-
Rental returns: free at semester's end, prorated if early
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning it by your semester return date, or after it is already overdue, is free with no deduction. Returning it early, before that date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
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 with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it EARLY, before your semester return date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund, the same as cancelling a shipped rental for a 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.
