Tort law, the law of how the costs of accidents and other harms should be allocated, is part of America’s larger story of social conflict and progress. The Burdens of All is the first book to fully recount tort law’s place in that story.
This book seeks to explain tort law through an examination of the common law process and the substantive rules and principles that have emerged as a result.
The latest edition of this unique casebook has been dramatically revised. This new edition presents the important cases, statutes, empirical data, and competing tort theories in a problems-oriented format that is designed to help students acquire a sophisticated understanding of tort law through active learning.

Designed as a "teacher's book", this edition of Torts: Cases, Problems, and Exercises contains thought-provoking problems designed to stimulate interesting classroom discussion that can be carried throughout each substantive chapter.
There are many torts textbooks on the market, and each one serves its authors' particular pedagogical objectives as well as their sense of the needs of the students who will use it. This book exists to combine three such objectives in a way that provides the strongest possible educational foundation for students learning torts.
