Tort Law for Paralegals, 8th Edition, introduces students to fundamental tort doctrines and their practical applications in legal environments. This textbook combines substantive legal rules with practice-based learning aids to help readers understand civil litigation and dispute resolution.
Coverage addresses major areas of civil liability, including intentional torts and their defenses, negligence principles, and strict liability. The presentation also examines specialized subjects such as defamation, malpractice, insurance, and business torts.
To connect theoretical concepts with daily legal work, the text incorporates a continuous hypothetical case that unfolds across the chapters. This scenario provides a coherent framework for understanding how legal claims are investigated, assessed for settlement value, and managed in practice.
