Reviews for The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law: Torts
"This book is a thoughtful and accurate resource for Torts students, full of helpful examples and brief discussions of classic cases. Goldberg and Zipursky lay out the principles of tort law clearly, but without oversimplification."
Christina Brooks Whitman Francis A. Allen Collegiate Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School "This is a remarkably accessible and sophisticated guide to the subject of torts. Goldberg and Zipursky's understanding of the law is wide and deep, and their book is a lucid presentation of both the basics and the complexities of the field. Students struggling to master torts for the first time will have both the forest and the trees brought into focus."
Gregory C. Keating William T. Dalessi Professor of Law and Philosophy, University of Southern California Gould School of Law
