Description
Tort Law: Text and Materials combines the best features of a stand-alone textbook with those of a traditional materials volume. The carefully-chosen selection of extracts from case law and academic articles map closely to undergraduate tort law courses, while the stimulating author commentary highlights key points and provides a clear context for the cases and materials. By explaining the key points of the law at the beginning of each section and building on this with substantial case extracts and further commentary, Tort Law enables the student to develop a thorough understanding of this difficult subject area. Also included in this edition is a wide selection of critical writings, giving an invaluable overview of the most important academic perspectives on tort law. The clear two-colour page layout and design allows for easy distinction between text and materials, and aids navigation throughout the text.Tort Law has been written with the undergradaute in mind, and should be essential reading for students coming to the subject for the first time.
