The Law of Torts (Practitioner Treatise) (Practitioner's Treatise Series)

West Group Publishing, 2005

A fine hornbook
This excellent volume was one of my own study aids during my first year of law school and it's now a valued part of my burgeoning law library. If you're a One-L looking for study aids, this is a handy hornbook to have. Dobbs breaks the topic up into lots of subtopics and provides easily-digested discussions under each heading. The result is a longer book than Prosser and Keeton, but it's easier ...

Problems in Remedies: Damages-Equity-Restitution (American Casebooks)
Dan B. Dobbs, Kavanagh

West Publishing Company, 1993

The problems embodied in this book differ from the usual academic presentation in several ways. First, students are not initially confronted with an authoritative statement of "law" but with facts and human problems. Second, except in the four introductory chapters, the problems are not organized to present an orderly sequence of remedies rules. Instead, they are organized around diverse factual settings, so the issues come to the student just ...

The typos kind of annoy, but the book is informative
Like many students in law school I had to read this book for my Torts class. Our professor did an excellent job with a fairly mediocre book by explaining the concepts and cases at length (and thus eliminating the need for me to go and buy supplemental materials). There are sections of the book that you can gloss over (and this is precisely what our professor had us do) unless you really need to ...

Prosser and Keeton on Torts, 5th Edition

8 reviews

West Group, 1984

P&K is a classic
I used P&K to supplement my casebook and class notes, and it guided me to an A- in torts. It's a great tool and a great read. However, it does have certain limitations: the final edition was published in the late 80s, so it does not provide much guidance on product liability, infliction of emotional distress and other emerging areas of tort law. P&K gives you something that year 1 of law school ...

Law of Remedies: Damages--Equity--Restitution (Hornbook Series Student Edition)

1 review
Dan B. Dobbs

West Publishing Company, 1993

BasicBook
The book is O.K. but it's a little out dated. Laws have greatly changed since this latest edition. It waists pages by explaining useless and ancient history of law and torts. Provides a broad outine of torts with sometimes poor english and sentence structure. It's a necessary read but some tort case outcomes leave you out in no-where unless you look the case up and read it for yourself. Nothing ...
