    This Anthology is designed to feature the pieces of torts scholarship that will best assist the reader with understanding tort law. Articles have been carefully chosen with the goal of making the literature of tort law accessible and comprehensible. The articles can assist with understanding of torts doctrines; they explain the doctrines in a context that is more complete and thoughtful than other sources a student might consult. The articles highlight the varying approaches available to analyze key issues and also introduce the reader to topics of current interest among writers.

    Professors and adjunct professors may request complimentary examination copies of LexisNexis law school publications to consider for class adoption or recommendation. Please identify the book(s) you wish to receive, provide your institutional contact information, and submit your request here.
