Not Fantastic, but Usually Entertaining
| Customer Rating: | | Just finished my 1st semester in law school and we used this in my Torts class. The book itself isn't bad, and at times it's downright funny. They have an interesting selection of cases and some opinions by judges who fancy themselves writers. Always ALWAYS read the notes between cases. A lot of time they are no more than references to other cases, but they provide some useful information, and again, some are quite funny. Some commentary aside from just cases would be helpful. The stuff on strict liability for animals is a great example of just how good and helpful commentary could/should be. I would recommend getting at Torts Nutshell as a comprehension aid.Torts in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series) All in all, good book. Loved the class a lot. |
It's a tort's casebook
| Customer Rating: | This text covers all of the relevant legal issues that a typical 1L will encounter during a typical torts class. The text reading is quite dry and some of the case selections that are made will make you smash your head against the desk, all in all its not a bad text.
Recomend the emanuel outline which is tied to this text. |
Okay but you'll also want some study aids
| Customer Rating: | Case books have a difficult time getting respect, because they have to include the opinions written by the different judges for the different cases. So, you're dealing with many, many writers, and unfortunately, judges aren't known for their entertaining, flowery prose.
So, the "authors" of a casebook really only get to throw in a few tidbits about the relevant law in-between a lot of badly written, lengthy legalese. I'm betting that they're limited on how much they can write in-between the case opinions by their publishers.
That said, this is a pretty decent casebook. Buy it only if you have to. If you have access to Lexis/Nexis or WestLaw, etc., you can always just look up and read the cases online & save the cost of the textbook.
To really understand Torts, I suggest getting a study aid like Examples & Explanations, which I think is put out by Lexis press or the Professor Series by Gilberts. The Finals series are good, too. |
Pretty Standard, Could Be Better
| Customer Rating: | | OK, it's a casebook. By definition it is just a bunch of cases thrown together to demonstrate various areas of the law. But lately there has been a new trend in books for 1Ls... analysis. Sure, this book has "Notes" sections between the cases, but they are little more than hypotheticals or one-line versions of even more cases. What about some essays? Talk about the logic behind the cases or maybe mix in some Law and Economics theory. As a generic casebook this is quite good, but adding a little more than just cases would be outstanding. |
