Torts & Personal Injury Law by Cathy Okrent, William R. Buckley (2003, Hardcover)

The authors do a good job of laying out the elements to the torts. Hypotheticals or illustrative cases come at the end of a subsection and are rather common. The chapters start out with an introduction that describes the torts that will be reviewed in the chapter.
While the authors devout three pages to Palsgraf, they fail to talk about the policy issues about duty that the majority and dissent make, about duty to the whole world versus to an identifiable plaintiff, Such an explanation would account for why the parts of Palsgraf belong there. This is a critical case about duty and causation, which is dropped into the material without explanation of its significance.
The hypotheticals break the rhythm of the material, though, so that the reader encounters material in a ‘start and stop’ fashion. Trying to be ‘all things to all people’, the authors frequently include illustrative cases, especially on recent developments on the law which contributes to disrupted flow of information to the reader.

This book was an excellent buy. The highlighted parts are really helpful in my studies. This was my first text book buy online and I am glad I chose to buy "used" rather than a high-priced new one.
