Torts: Cases and Problems

The Second Edition of Torts: Cases and Problems is more than one-third larger than the First Edition. The authors have retained the old ""chestnuts"" and added many memorable new cases. The numerous problems invite discussion and analysis, but the clear focus is on the cases; therefore, the notes are lean. One of the authors' goals in designing the First Edition was to draft a Torts casebook that was fun to teach and fun to read. This has continued as an emphasis in preparing the Second Edition. The following chapters are entirely new in the Second Edition and contain numerous modern cases featuring contemporary issues:   Defamation (Chapter 16)   Privacy (Chapter 17)   Misrepresentation (Chapter 18)   Nuisance (Chapter 19)   Abuse of Process (Chapter 20)   Tortious Interference with Contracts (Chapter 21)   Vicarious Liability (Chapter 22)   Civil Rights (Chapter 23)
