Book Description
Tort doctrine is complex and nuanced on its own; a torts casebook that mystifies first year students will not help them develop the core skill of legal analysis. Tort Law in Focus presents concepts in a way that students can understand and apply. Rather than hide the ball, Geoffrey Rapp explains new terms clearly, and guides students in the specific techniques of applying tort law to practice-based problems. Along with concrete examples, Tort Law in Focus provides clear and thorough introductions to those areas of tort law (such as proximate cause under the dominant and new Restatement approaches; res ipsa; factual cause, including but-for cause and alternatives in special cases like indivisible injuries and alternative causes; the duty of owners and occupiers of land; and comparative negligence) that are especially challenging for first-year law students. Professors and Students Will Benefit From: Clear introductions and transitional text that frame key rules, concepts, and cases A wide selection of modern, high-interest cases that apply dominant legal rules, and which, where possible, interpret and apply the Restatement (Third) Summaries and discussion of canonical cases that convey the history and context of modern tort law Examples, flow charts and maps that illustrate concepts, rules, and the relationships among parties and interests Consistent use of problems that encourage students to implement “IRAC” (or equivalent) strategies for structuring their analysis Samples of documents commonly used in tort law practice, such as demand letters and complaints

Book Description
What do the people say about this book?"This has been very helpful to clarify my understanding of the law of Tort in an easy way. I strongly recommend this course to any students struggling with the law of tort"."I was pleasantly surprised with the contents of the course. It covers all the necessary topics. Thank you Law Academy Online, it helped me to clarify my understanding of the law of tort very well.""The course is exactly what it says on the tin. I doubt that you will need any other book once you have gone through this course. Very helpful and highly recommended!"This book meets the needs of anyone interested in the law of torts, compensation and Negligence. The book has been divided and then subdivided into small sections to make the learning easy. Students can learn the law of torts in chunks! Moreover, at the start of each section there is a list of objectives so that you can test yourself at the end of any particular section if you have achieved your objectives. Unfortunately, the word 'Torts' sounds baffling to many as the word is not used generally and not many people (including prospective law students) are familiar with it. This is unlike other areas of law, for example, land, crime and contract due to the common use of the words in our daily lives. This book contains examples and case illustrations to make law of torts easy even for a lay person. This handbook has been written to assist the law students in clarifying their legal concepts of the law of tort. This book emphasises, inter alia, upon the area of 'Negligence' which is at the heart of the law of tort and without which the law of tort will lose most of its significance. We have made every effort to make sure that we have all the necessary case law covered. At the same time we have avoided any unnecessary material. So the result is that the content is not so less that it misses out important information and it is not so much that the students find it another hassle to be bothered with. The topics have been divided into sub topics so that the students can learn their law of tort in chunks rather than leaving it somewhere in the middle of an essay and then start again. We hope that you will find this handbook very useful in clarifying your concepts and in helping you pass your law exams.
