5 out of 5 stars Very well written   March 23, 2009
Benedict P. Lush (San Francisco, CA USA)
This is a very well written textbook on the Law of Torts (American law dealing with injuries done to others). There are a few books out there now that communicate the law very well to us newbies. I highly recommend this book just for these two reasons: clarity and effectiveness.


5 out of 5 stars Fourth Edition A Charm   May 27, 2009
Jay S. Whitney
Usually 3's a charm yet that is what Okrent did with the 4th edition. The new ethical feature in each chapter "Biggest Mistakes" is worth a read to improve anyone's career. How she keeps the essence of torts to 13 chapters is masterful as well as laced with her array of interesting new cases. Okrent on Torts!


5 out of 5 stars Torts Law Book- The Blue Book   June 12, 2009
M. McClean (Miami, Fl)
For the class that I am currently taking I find this book to be very efficient. It has all the Torts Law information to know. It has real Legal examples which makes it great. It gives you all the definition necessary to understand the law. I like the book a lot.


4 out of 5 stars To Tort Law and beyond...   April 7, 2010
O. Calderon King (Miami, FL, US)
Well written, with lots of definitions and samples. For begining law students who have no clue what Tort Law is, this book is solid foundation.


2 out of 5 stars What a rip off   September 28, 2008
J. Good (San Francisco, CA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

If the retail price of a textbook is $152, I would expect the publishers to hire a copy editor who knows how to read. In just a quick scan I've found the word "gun" used instead of "gum," "international," instead of "intentional," and "If" is apparently spelled with two Is these days. Also, the information tables are insultingly elementary ... not unlike what you'd expect to find in a fourth-grade reader.

There is a lot of useful information in the book. I'll say that for it.

But, all in all, I'd say the price of the book combined with it's quality actually made me angry.
