Tort Law: Cases and Materials

by Jodi Gardner, Sarah Green

Overview

Tort Law: Cases and Materials offers a fresh approach to the study of tort law. It is the essential companion to Green and Gardner's Tort Law textbook.

Comprehensively covering the tort law curriculum, the inclusion of extracts from key cases, statutes, newspaper reports and articles demonstrates the law in action. The clear and insightful commentary accompanying each extract explains the significance of each and provides students with an enhanced understanding of the material, ensuring they can respond with depth and analysis in their essay questions.

In addition to the standard and oft-cited materials, the expert authors have selected alternative voices, including feminist approaches, socio-legal perspectives and comparative material from multiple international jurisdictions. This provides students with a thorough and wide-ranging examination of tort law.
