A must for Torts and even Civil Procedure

I had this book for my class on Torts and it is a very good book for learning about Torts and even Civil Procedure. The book has a detailed Table of Contents and each chapter has a page describing what it will cover. The chapters have cases to help with the topic it is "teaching" and the different kinds of torts, intentional, negligenc, and strict liabilty. The torts are defined extremely well and Civil Procedure, from the demand letter to post trial motions, are described in detail. I took Torts before I took Civil Litigation and I already know at least half of the course. This book is excellent for learning about Torts and basic Civil Procedure.

Not quite the condition I expected

The shipping was kinda slow, the communication wasn't that great, and the book wasn't in that great of condition. Lots of highlighting. However, to have gotten a textbook I needed for such a good price, somewhat makes up for that...not completely but somewhat.

Interesting book

Interesting because the author writes many interesting and funny hypotheticals. It's a great book for those interested in torts. In my case, it's a book assigned to me by my professor so I really have no choice :).

Tort Law for Legal Assistants

Tort Law for Legal Assistants is a must for any civil litigation paralegal. I selected it based upon its table of contents, and it delivers. It is a clear, concise overview of tort law that provides reasoning, theories, relationships, elements, effects, limitations, applications, and much more. I wish I had known about this book during my paralegal training classes. At least I have it now as a review tool and reference guide for assignments as a paralegal.
