The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law Summary

The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law: Torts by John C.P. Goldberg (Professor of Law, Professor of Law, Harvard Law School)

Torts-personal injury law-is a fundamental yet controversial part of our legal system. The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law: Torts provides a clear and comprehensive account of what tort law is, how it works, what it stands to accomplish, and why it is now much-disputed. Goldberg and Zipursky-two of the world's most prominent tort scholars-carefully analyze leading judicial decisions and prominent tort-related legislation, and place each event into its proper context. Topics covered include products liability, negligence, medical malpractice, intentional torts, defamation and privacy torts, punitive damages, and tort reform.

This book is a thoughtful and accurate resource for Torts students, full of helpful examples and brief discussions of classic cases. Goldberg and Zipursky lay out the principles of tort law clearly, but without oversimplification. --Christina Brooks Whitman Francis A. Allen Collegiate Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School This is a remarkably accessible and sophisticated guide to the subject of torts. Goldberg and Zipursky's understanding of the law is wide and deep, and their book is a lucid presentation of both the basics and the complexities of the field. Students struggling to master torts for the first time will have both the forest and the trees brought into focus. --Gregory C. Keating William T. Dalessi Professor of Law and Philosophy, University of Southern California Gould School of Law
