Summary: What every lay person should know about tort law
Comment: As a law student at the University of Virginia, I was lucky to have taken Ken Abraham's course on Tort Law. He is an amazing guy and greatly respected by the student body (He recently won the ABA's teacher of the year award. Ken Abraham's explanation of tort law in America summarizes what the general common law is and why it got to be that way. The book is best when challenging a person's assumptions and preconceptions about law and life. Abraham's disdainful treatment of res ipsa loquitur and its overuse by lazy lawyers is masterful. He describes in the book a funny hypothetical involving an old (or perhaps fresh?) bananna peel lying in a grocery store aisle and its implications for the parties. It is a brilliant book by a brilliant lawyer. If you want to know tort law, read this book.

Summary: Very good review for finals
Comment: I found this book to be a very good review for finals. It is fast reading and covers everything in detail. Organization is a little choppy but the info is there. Case summary is sketchy if you do not know the facts already, but as a review it is fine. I recommend to any first year.
