Description
Tort Law and Alternatives: Cases and Materials 12th Edition Marc A. Franklin ISBN 9798895458488
This widely used casebook offers thorough, up-to-date coverage of modern tort law through carefully edited cases and insightful original commentary. It centers on negligence, strict liability, and no-fault systems as competing frameworks for compensating accidental injuries and promoting safety incentives. The chapter on intentional torts is flexibly organized so instructors may choose to begin the course with that material.
In addition, the text provides substantial treatment of products liability, damages and insurance, defamation, privacy, economic torts, and complex litigation. Thoughtfully developed notes and questions following the principal cases are designed to reinforce doctrinal understanding while encouraging students to critically evaluate judicial reasoning and the broader policies underlying tort law.
The Twelfth Edition incorporates important recent developments in case law and legislation, along with new materials addressing emerging issues—from the evolving impact of artificial intelligence and the “gig” economy to current challenges shaping the civil justice system.
The Twelfth Edition has been comprehensively revised to reflect recent developments in doctrine and legislation. It expands coverage of emerging issues, including those posed by artificial intelligence, and updates its treatment of the now nearly complete Restatement (Third) of Torts. New materials emphasize the Restatement’s innovative responses to contemporary challenges, including vicarious liability for sexual misconduct and evolving standards in medical malpractice.

Rental Terms
Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 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 and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
- 30-Day Refund Window
- Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. 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. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
