3.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent...for what it covers,
This review is from: The Law of Torts: Examples & Explanations, Second Edition (Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)
As many of the previous reviewers note, this text is not as good as Glannon's E&E Civ Pro text. While this is true, it is a little misleading to just leave it at that.
The text is excellent, for the tort law that Glannon chooses to cover. The book is mainly about negligence, and Glannon does a fine job covering such a broad topic. The only problem is that, under the intentional torts, Glannon only covers assault, battery. As for defenses to intentional torts: self-defense, and consent. That is way this one is not as good as the others. The title of the book should read: "The Selected Law of Torts." So don't be misled. This is not your end-all be-all of torts supplements. But, if your having problems with negligence, or causation, this is a fantastic reference. The examples do a great job of slowly working you though those ever so important distinctions. If the title of the book let the reader know that this book is mainly about negligence, then I would have given it 5 stars for sure. Hope this helps.

BE CAREFUL WHICH EDITION YOU BUY!,
By Dinobuddy (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Law of Torts: Examples & Explanations, Second Edition (Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)
The book is great as it is, no doubt, but the older editions do not have Products Liability in them, which is VITAL to your studies. Make sure you get the latest edition, which has two chapters on PL.
Aside from that one missing element in the older edition, the rest of the book is excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars
3rd Edition = awesome.,
This review is from: The Law of Torts: Examples & Explanations, Third Edition (Paperback)
For some reason I think Amazon's reviews bleed through different editions.
IE. You will find reviews of the 1st/2nd edition on the 3rd editions page. This often misleads and/or distorts the promotion of a product. The newest editions of examples & explanations are fabulous and settle a few issues that may have been present in the past. All to often students expect these to be comprehensive outlines like Emanuels that do all the work for them---no. The grades come to those who work and that is where this series shines. It gives you practice and furthers understanding.
