Customer Reviews

great book, BUT get the TEACHING TORTS BOOK!!

I bought both the Mastering Torts and Teaching Torts book, and especially loved the Q & A format of the Teaching Torts book for review and class preparation. Teaching Torts is used by professors, including mine. You can find it on Half for a good price.

Mastering Torts

This is a great book for cutting to the chase. If you want the rule for a case stated in a concise and easy to understand manner, I would highly recommend this book.

Excellent & Concise

This book is an excellent explanation of how tort law works. The author gives examples of variations on different laws by summarizing case law. That way you get the rules and elements without having to read an entire case and wade through the irrelevant opinion, concurrances, dicta, etc...
