Tort Law and Practice 7th Edition ISBN 9781531032333

Now in its Seventh Edition and Featuring a New Co-Author

The seventh edition of Tort Law and Practice continues to offer a comprehensive and inclusive approach to the study of tort law, combining doctrinal depth with a strong focus on pedagogy and policy.

This innovative, student-centered casebook—widely praised by law students since its first edition—thoroughly explores core tort principles while supporting active learning through thoughtfully curated cases, explanatory notes, guiding questions, element summaries, flowcharts, and a wide variety of problems. These include both brief hypotheticals and more complex scenarios designed to mirror examination questions.

Adopters gain access to Carolina Academic Press's Core Knowledge for Lawyers resources, which feature multiple-choice questions, short answer exercises, and essay-style problems, all with detailed explanations to reinforce student understanding.

A hallmark of this edition is its continued integration of social justice perspectives, offering students regular opportunities to engage with issues of class, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality as they intersect with tort doctrine. Notably, the book includes a dedicated section on fairness in tort damages—an often-overlooked topic—as well as a Diversity and Inclusion Index to help users easily locate related content.

The expanded Teacher’s Manual offers robust support for instructors, including pedagogical tips, discussion guides, and suggested answers.
