Professor Greg Dickinson’s book with co-author Richard Epstein has been published by Aspen Publishing.
The Law of Torts, second edition, is a significant update to the previous version. The book illuminates both the basics and the intricacies of tort law for students, courts, and practitioners. The treatise provides a solid foundation in the historical evolution of tort doctrine, and it systematically applies economic analysis and corrective-justice theory to address the major issues facing courts today. This newly updated edition includes a detailed discussion of the Restatement (Third) of Torts and leading contemporary issues in tort law, including public nuisance, global warming, products liability law, and liability of online entities.
This updated second edition builds on its long-standing strengths:
- Addressing all topics of the basic Torts, Advanced Torts, Dignitary Torts, and Business Torts courses.
- Providing thought-provoking and balanced discussion of the underlying theories that shape the tort law in both hard and easy cases.
- Sharing black-letter tort doctrine through both classic and contemporary case law, making it an appropriate companion to any casebook.
