Publisher's Synopsis
Dobbs, Hayden & Bublick's Torts and Compensation is a perennial student and faculty favorite, written by the authors of the leading Torts treatise. As with the previous eight editions, it contains the most up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of Tort law available. It includes dozens of new cases (both primary cases and case citations in notes) that were decided since the publication of the 8th edition of the casebook in 2017. Topics given new or expanded treatment include qualified immunity in §1983 cases; battery by "gif"; trespass in cases involving drones and fracking; liability of Amazon as a seller in products liability actions; and defamation over the internet. The Concise Edition is streamlined for professors who teach a four-unit course or who want to cover fewer pages per day yet retain complete coverage.
