An excellent book for law and philosophy students
Professor Calnan's book is an excellent source for any student of law or philosophy, interested in expanding their understanding of tort law.Readers are left with a broader understanding of "justice" andthe philosophical implications of our laws.Calnan's book is well thoughtout and his theories are easy to understand.An ideal source for anyonewho appreciates the moral implications of tort law today. ...

Casebook
What can I say- this is a regular 1st year law school case book.I would recommend that if you buy this, you should also buy "Mastering Torts" by the same author as it explains things in summary and in layman's terms. ... Read more

What every lay person should know about tort law
As a law student at the University of Virginia, I was lucky to have taken Ken Abraham's course on Tort Law.He is an amazing guy and greatly respected by the student body (He recently won the ABA's teacher of the year award. Ken Abraham's explanation of tort law in America summarizes what the general common law is and why it got to be that way.The book is best when challenging a person's assumptions and preconceptions about law and life.Abraham's disdainful treatment of res ipsa loquitur and its overuse by lazy lawyers is masterful.He describes in the book a funny hypothetical involving an old (or perhaps fresh?) bananna peel lying in a grocery store aisle and its implications for the parties.It is a brilliant book by a brilliant lawyer.If you want to know tort law, read this book.

Very good review for finals
I found this book to be a very good review for finals. It is fast reading and covers everything in detail. Organization is a little choppy but the info is there. Case summary is sketchy if you do not know the facts already, but as a review it is fine. I recommend to any first year. ... Read more
