Introduction to Tort Law

This course introduces students to the law of civil wrongs, and to the methods by which the law fixes liability upon those whose wrongful conduct causes loss or harm to others. Tort law, and in particular the law of negligence, is an area of primary importance to legal practitioners, as it encompasses, inter alia, liability for personal injuries. It is also an area of law of interest to many types of businesses, notably industrial and insurance companies and publishing houses.
