Modern Tort Law: Context, Cases, and Materials (American Casebook Series)

By Shawn Bayern

This modern Torts casebook highlights the most important issues in modern tort law. It combines the case-oriented focus of a traditional casebook with extensive notes that aim to clarify the subject. Adopting a functionalist and contemporary approach, the book emphasizes negligence law and shows the surprising richness and depth of modern cases on such topics as duty, breach, causation, and vicarious liability. 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.
