The book includes new cases carefully selected from hundreds of decisions published between 2013 and 2016. Recent statutes and authorities, such as the 'Restatement third of torts: intentional yorts to persons', have also been included.

Torts and Compensation, Personal Accountability and Social Responsibility for Injury (American Casebook)

This casebook is a teaching tool. Tort law is about real people and real injuries, and the cases in this book reflect that reality. As with the previous editions, challenging contemporary cases and issues are presented without straying too far from the classic cases and the core of lawyering--thoughtful analysis and criticism. Students are engaged without mystifying them, and-- with the contributions of the professors who teach this book--to spark a lifelong interest in law in general and in tort law in particular. The Concise Edition attempts to present the core of tort law in personal injury and property damage cases in a shorter form that makes it possible to teach the central materials in a four-hour course. This edition contains numerous citations to the Restatements of Torts, and sometimes to the Restatements of Agency or other areas of relevant law.

Additional coverage includes general tort law, alternative dispute resolution, negligence, defenses to negligence actions, intentional torts, injuries to property, liability, strict or absolute liability, product liability, special tort actions, and tort investigation. A total of over 75 cases are annotated and include the following hot button issues: malicious prosecution of the Duke University Lacrosse players, toxic mass torts, patient dumping, spoliation of evidence, sexual abuse by clergy, donor egg implantation by same sex couples, spam email fraud, HIPPA, and obesity caused by trans fats from fast food.

Tour Guide: Introduction to Debate

The point of this small book on debate is to teach beginning debaters the separate forms of team policy and Lincoln-Douglas debates. It does not explain the detailed nuances required to win competitive debates. This book is a companion to a video series that introduces debate through familiar conflicts and characters, teaching students to master the easier parts before they participate in a whole debate. If the structured arguments seem strange to you at first, remember that you learn lots of forms in other subjects: the form of the persuasive essay for writing about literature, the form of the syllogism for formal logic, the form of equations in mathematics, the form of the scientific method, and the form of sentence diagrams in English grammar. Debate is just one more form to master.
