Customer Reviews

One of my favorite study aids

I love these Examples & Explanations books. The rules make sense when you can get decent examples, and these books do a good job of that. If you find your outline frustrating (Like Emmanuels and/or Gilberts - both of which drive me nuts with frustration) try the Finals series books. I like them much better as outlines than the "official outlines."

Excellent Resource

This book is very easy to read and allows for easy digestion of complex principles. I find it to be very useful in understanding torts.

Must-have for any First Year Law Student

This book was actually recommended for our Torts class and I am so glad it was. Glannon is a great writer and he makes things easy and fun to read (sometimes he is a little too punny). His examples are a great help too, especially around exam time. His practice exams are great at helping you to spot the issues and organize them clearly. Glannon also wrote Examples and Explanations for Civil Pro. That is highly recommended also!

Helps demistify the world of tort law

Joseph Glannon is a Professor at Suffolk University Law School in Boston. Professor Glannon's book helps to demistify the world of tort law. It is extremely helpful for the first year law student or to anyone who wants to learn about what a tort is. Professor Glannon makes material that reads dry in law books come alive! The book is peppered with hypothetical situations that build understanding of the subject. I highly recommend this book
