About the Book

The Torts Process, Seventh Edition, offers a student-friendly, procedural approach to tort law. By utilizing a problem-based methodology, students are challenged throughout the text with the use of theoretical and real-life situations. This interactive, well-balanced approach will enable students to grasp the basics of tort law more effectively and efficiently than others of its kind.

Many great features retain the quality of the Sixth Edition:

  • A problem approach that challenges student understanding through the use of both theoretical and real-life situations
  • A clear, balanced presentation that enables students to understand the overarching structure and organization of tort law better than any other book
  • A lively mix of problems, cases, excerpts, notes, and questions
  • A Teacher's Manual with a sample syllabus and guidance on the most effective use of the problem material

The Seventh Edition brings with it some significant additions:

  • New co-author Douglas A. Kysar of Cornell University brings his expertise to the author team
  • A new chapter on the global dimensions of tort law
