Author: Richard L. Hasen
A concise, clear, effective review of Tort law topics organized around the theme of multiple-choice questions. The basic format follows the same structure established by the first title in the series, Joseph Glannon’s The Glannon Guide to Civil Procedure. The book includes brief explanatory text about the topic under discussion, followed by one or two multiple-choice questions. After each question, the author explains how the correct choice was chosen. Thus the student reviews course content and also learns how to analyze exam questions.
Features:
Integrates multiple-choice questions into a full-fledged review of the first-year Torts course
Lead-up discussion of law in the text prepares students to learn effectively from subsequent questions
Clear explanations of correct and incorrect answers help to clarify nuances in the law
Multiple-choice questions are sophisticated but fair, neither too difficult nor unrealistically straightforward
Equally useful to all students, regardless of whether they will be tested by multiple-choice questions on their exams
Embodies a far more user-friendly and interactive approach than other exam preparation aids
A more challenging final question in each chapter (the “Closer ” ) illustrates a more sophisticated problem in the area under discussion
“Closing Closer” questions in the last chapter provide practice and helpful review of concepts in earlier chapters, meant to test knowledge across the range of Torts issues
Valuable exam-taking pointers interspersed within the substantive text
New to the Second Edition:
New material on “cybertrespass” and other Internet-related intentional tort
Updated material on Supreme Court cases governing the preemption of state tort law claims
Incorporation of material from the newly approved portions of the Restatement Third of Torts, Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm, including detailed treatment of the Third Restatement’s new approach to Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress
Updated material on the Supreme Court’s treatment of constitutional questions concerning the award of punitive damages
