US Tort Law

Based on the podcast series Life of a Law Student by Neil Wehneman.

Welcome to the Wikibook on US TORT LAW

This book is about United States Tort Law, its history, development and current state. The book is designed to complement the Wikiversity course of the same name, but can be read on its own. Each chapter begins with an outline of the topic because an understanding of the principles of tort law is necessary to place the topic in context. Where appropriate each chapter will highlight relevant case law and statutes, which may include links to other resources within the world of Wikimedia. Amongst the supplementary material there is also a glossary of legal terms.
