Book Reviews of The Law of Torts: Examples & Explanations, Third Edition

Book Review: A great aid.
Summary: 5 Stars

I would recommend this aid to any student taking Torts and finding it difficult to grasp certain topics (that's almost everyone!). I used this book to refer to when I was having trouble understanding a specific topic, and the detailed - but easy to understand explanations helped. Also, there are questions at the end of each topic you can quiz yourself on and then answers are provided for you to check your response against. But one of the most valuable parts of this book was the end where the author, well known and respected in the field of torts law, provides tips for taking a torts exam. The author is a torts professor and discusses many of the common mistakes his students make. Overall, a wonderful book!
