Cases And Materials On The Law Of Torts, Harry Shulman, Fleming James, Oscar Gray, Donald Gifford Mar 2010

Cases And Materials On The Law Of Torts, Harry Shulman, Fleming James, Oscar Gray, Donald Gifford

Oscar S. Gray

This casebook is designed for teaching case analysis and the impact of social and economic factors on the common law. Enough of the majority opinions, and often the dissenting opinions, is presented to illustrate how the cases fit together with precedents and to enable students to evaluate competing arguments. The latest edition, though streamlined from previous editions, adds both coverage of emerging areas of liability, including claims under the alien tort statute, and traditional torts applied in new factual contexts, such as cyberspace and biomedical engineering.


Commentary [On Negligent Infliction Of Emotional Distress], Oscar S. Gray Mar 2010

Commentary [On Negligent Infliction Of Emotional Distress], Oscar S. Gray

Oscar S. Gray

These comments question the terminology used in the Third Restatement of Torts for psychological effects, partially on the ground of obsolescence in light of developments in the neurosciences. Instead of the distinction emphasized in the Third Restatement between “physical harm” and “emotional disturbance” (or “distress”), they suggest a distinction between “harm” that constitutes an impairment of functionality, which would be treated as a free-standing basis for liability, like conventional diseases or injuries, and “mere feelings”, which would continue to be compensable in negligence only parasitically.

Cases And Materials On The Law Of Torts, 4th Edition, Harry Shulman, Fleming James, Oscar Gray, Donald Gifford

Oscar S. Gray

The opinions included in this law school casebook are designed for teaching case analysis and the social and economics consequences of legal decisions. Enough of the majority, and often the dissent opinion is presented to illustrate how the case fits with precedents and allows students to evaluate the arguments on either side of the case. It emphasizes accidents and the role of fault in society's management of their costs, and the historical basis for modern torts doctrines. It details intentional torts and a wide range of other non-accident wrongs.
