The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law: Torts

by John C.P. Goldberg, Benjamin C. Zipursky

Torts--personal injury law--is a fundamental yet controversial part of our legal system. The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Torts provides a clear and comprehensive account of what tort law is, how it works, what it stands to accomplish, and why it is now much-disputed. Goldberg and Zipursky--two of the world's most prominent tort scholars--carefully analyze leading judicial decisions and prominent tort-related legislation, and place each event into its proper context. Topics covered include products liability, negligence, medical malpractice, intentional torts, defamation and privacy torts, punitive damages, and tort reform.

Good explanation of Torts law esp if using Goldberg and Zipursky textbook. Breezy read.
