Torts: Cases and Questions
Summary
In this casebook, Farnsworth (law, Boston University) and Grady (George Mason University School of Law) present pairs and clusters of cases that contain factual similarities but arrive at different outcomes. There are lead cases presented here, as in other books, but the notes afterward largely consist of other judicial decisions. The book will help students draw distinctions between cases that are superficially similar and analogies between cases that are superficially different. The presentation of cases is compatible with a course emphasis on economic logic, corrective justice, other questions of policy, or on doctrine alone.
