The book highlights progress in the law over the last hundred years, includes and analyzes material from the Restatement (Third) of Torts, and contains other materials, such as jury instructions, that help students see how courts apply the law. Divided into short, easy-to-read chapters with a structure aimed to optimize student learning, the book serves as the foundation for a lively course that covers the doctrine, policy, and social goals of modern tort law.
