This easy-to-use doctrinal favorite incorporates many cases decided within the last several years. It emphasizes personal injury torts, including civil rights torts, but also covers non-tort systems of compensation, including social security and workers' compensation. Several chapters deal with current medical malpractice and products liability law. (The malpractice chapter has a new section on nursing home liability.) Shorter chapters cover economic and dignitary torts such as defamation, privacy, fraud and others. In approach, this book attempts to present basic concepts such as duty, negligence, cause, scope of risk, and comparative responsibility by using cases and notes that ask for thoughtful analysis and synthesis, as well as respect for facts and policy. The book also investigates such current issues as tort reform and apportionment of responsibility.

This edition reflects new developments in cases, topics, and academic contributions to tort law. The user will find more than 25 main cases new to this edition and more than 30 new case abstracts, in addition to many new case citations. A few of the cases new to this edition antedate the third edition, but no less than twelve were decided in 2000. Some important changes that have influenced this edition were not changes in the law. Torts and Compensation, Fourth Edition has been revised to better reflect the cultural attitudes and preoccupations of students entering the 21st Century. Moreover, the new edition benefits from the authors' experience in teaching the materials, as well as from the suggestions made by their students and other teachers. As with the previous editions, the new edition focuses primarily (though not exclusively) on injury law, and it includes tort law's neighbors-workers' compensation, no-fault, and social security disability. Throughout, the authors seek to challenge students to build professional skills in analysis and synthesis, in policy judgment and in a sense of justice.

Torts and Compensation : Personal Accountability and Social Responsibility for Injury

Hayden, Paul

Dobbs, Daniel

The book begins with a long look at what it means to be a "professional." Why are lawyers different from other people who work for a living? Chapter 1 contains cases and textual materials that raise these issues provocatively, ranging from portions of cases involving lawyer advertising, to materials on legal education and bar admission, to cases on the unauthorized practice of law. Chapter 2 stresses the duty of competence that all lawyers owe to clients, and examines in some depth the contours of civil liability for legal malpractice and the constitutional claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. Chapter 3 explores a lawyer’s duty of confidentiality. Chapter 4 examines several aspects of the creation, maintenance and termination of the client-lawyer relationship. Chapter 5 deals with fees. Chapter 6 deals with conflicts of interest. Chapter 7 focuses on special rules that apply to litigators. Chapter 8 covers advertising and solicitation. Finally, the course ends with a look at some key issues about the law and ethics of judging, including the hot current issue of judicial elections.
