Product Description
Tort law remains a dynamic field, subject to constant refinement and rethinking. The new Eighth Edition reflects these evolving developments in recent case law and legislative activity, as well as commentary ranging from the ongoing Third Restatement of Torts (Physical Harm) project to the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. The principal focus of this book is the law of negligence, strict liability, and no-fault as alternative approaches to compensating the victims of accidental harm and creating optimal incentives to safety. This leading casebook covers all major aspects of tort law with expertly edited cases, and original text. It also includes detailed discussions of liability, causation, defamation, privacy, damages, insurance, and tort alternatives

1st Year Tort Law
You will most likely not buy this book for fun but because your 1st year law professor tells you to. Most parts of the book are very dry and it takes a long time to read it properly. The cases are good, standard Tort cases. The most helpful explanations can be found in the Notes and Questions. While the book is dry bordering on boring, the Notes and Questions at the end of each chapter will give you a much better understanding of the information. Franklin and Rabin deal with physical injuries, non-physical harm, causation, trespass and liability.
Not a great reference book, which it doesn't pretend to be. Very much a standard text book to be used for first year Tort Law.
the worst casebook in all lawschool
I never encountered a less useful book during all my three long years at law school. Do youself a favor and buy a companion guide- nutshell or something.
Great seller!
Easy to work with...book arrived as described...when it turned out that I didn't need this particular book the return was smooth. Thanks for being so easy to work with!
