Tort Law: Responsibilities and Redress presents tort law as a complex but coherent subject. The authors have arranged the materials to be both highly sophisticated and extremely user friendly. This book has been adopted at schools across the country and always receives high praise from faculty and students for its relevant, contemporary cases, extensive and informative notes, and its 500+ page, cradle-to-grave Teacher's Manual. The Fifth Edition of Tort Law: Responsibilities and Redress has been updated to reflect the very latest developments in tort law, including discussions of new developments in civil rights law (pertaining especially to excessive force claims against police), as well as public nuisance, toxic torts, and new draft provisions of the Third Restatement of Torts: Intentional Torts to Persons. The book also contains "Check Your Understanding," "Big Think," and "Did You Know?" text boxes designed to enable students to engage in self-assessment, along with a user-friendly page layout. A comprehensive set of high-quality PowerPoint slides covering all principal cases is also available to adopters.

New to the Fifth Edition:

• Additional "Check Your Understanding," "Big Think" and "Did you Know?" text boxes enable students to engage in self-assessment as they proceed through their Torts class
• New materials on civil rights litigation, public nuisance, toxic torts and the Intentional Torts provisions of the Third Restatement.
• User-friendly page layout features helpful photographs, illustrations, and original charts

Professors and student will benefit from:

• Text and notes that are fully up to date on the latest developments in tort law, including new Restatement provisions and the latest decisions from state, federal, and foreign courts.
• More than 15 years of overwhelmingly positive student and instructor feedback from law schools across the U.S. which demonstrate that Tort Law: Responsibilities and Redress is the most user-friendly Torts casebook on the market.
• The book is completely contemporary. Classic tort cases are included but, emphasis is placed on modern cases and modern issues that demonstrate tort law's continued importance and relevance.

John C. P. Goldberg, a professor at Harvard Law School, is a co-author of Tort Law: Responsibilities and Redress (Aspen Press), a casebook now in its second edition. He has published more than 30 scholarly articles and essays on torts in leading law journals. He also serves on the editorial board

Prior to joining the Harvard faculty, he spent thirteen years as a member of the Vanderbilt University Law School faculty, where he served as Associate Dean for Research. At Vanderbilt, Goldberg received four teaching prizes, each

Law Schools. After receiving an M.Phil. in Politics from Oxford University, and M.A. from Princeton University and a J.D. from New York University, Goldberg clerked for District Judge Jack Weinstein of the Eastern District of New York and for Supreme Court Justice Byron White. He practiced law in
Boston before joining the Vanderbilt faculty.

has lectured widely in the United States and abroad, and has been a frequent commentator in the news media on issues related to mass torts and pharmaceutical liability. Professor Zipursky is a leading scholar in torts, tort theory, legal ethics, and jurisprudence, and has published more than forty
articles and book chapters on subjects ranging from punitive damages and duty in tort law to the varieties of pragmatism within legal philosophy. A co-author of the casebook Tort Law: Responsibilities and Redress (Aspen), now its second edition, Zipursky is a Senior Editor of the Journal of Tort
Law and a member of the Editorial Board of Legal Theory. After receiving a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh and a J.D. from New York University, he clerked for the Hon. Kimba M. Wood in the Southern District of New York and practiced products liability law at Arnold & Porter
