Studies in American Tort Law A Comprehensive Text for 1st Year Tort Course

Studies in American Tort Law introduces students to -- but is careful not to overwhelm them with -- law and economics. At appropriate junctures, economic issues are explored, as in connection with the negligence balancing test and the materials on damages, nuisance, and strict liability. The goal is not to view all of tort law through an economic lens, but to employ economic analysis when it is particularly useful. This approach allows professors from the law-and-economics school to use the materials in the text as a starting point for classroom discussions; those who eschew economic analysis can allow the economic commentary to stand on its own.Johnson, Vincent R. is the author of 'Studies in American Tort Law A Comprehensive Text for 1st Year Tort Course', published 1994 under ISBN 9780890895795 and ISBN 0890895791.
