Paper back law school book This excellent material is the kernel of tutorial counseling given to a 1L law student. It attempts to unseat the non 'legalistic' cave-justice mindset that prevents proper learning in law school. Torts and Contracts covered. Look Inside!! !

I could say: A contract is is a legally enforceable agreement consisting of a valid offer and containing sufficient terms, made to an identifiable offeree and giving assurance that a valid acceptance will conclude the bargain. Or: A contract is an enforceable exchange of legal consideration by offer and acceptance in the absence of contract defenses. All of the above are correct.

Unit 1 of this casebook covers U.S. Contract Law. Students will learn how to form contracts, how contracts are performed, and how to remedy a breach of contract. Contracts are involved in almost every field of law, and paralegals are often involved in resolving contract disputes. From a dispute over a repair bill to a major commercial transaction, lawyers rely on paralegals to assist them in protecting the contractual interests of their clients. To be effective, a paralegal must understand the basic principles that apply in contract law. This casebook will also specifically benefit pre law students by helping them to learn the fundamental rules of U.S. Contract law. It will help them to become proficient at applying those rules to analyze disputes that arise in connection with the formation, expression, interpretation, and breach of contracts. Finally, pre law students will learn how to use contract law and analytic skills to spot and argue issues on 1L contract law exams. Unit 2 of this casebook covers U.S. Tort Law. Tort law is one of the most important bodies of law because it governs everyday human interaction, and it is one of the most important fields of paralegal employment. This unit provides students with a general understanding of the laws dealing with civil wrongs and remedies for wrongs, including intentional torts, negligence, strict liability, defamation, invasion of privacy and the factors that affect a plaintiff's right to sue a defendant. Because tort law arises from everyday life, it is one of the most interesting and relevant areas of law.At most American law schools students are required to take the same core 1L classes -Contract Law, Tort Law, Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Property, and Legal Research & Writing. During 1L, law professors primarily teach using the case study method. But it is not until the very end of the semester that students begin to see how an area of law takes shape and how the rules they have learned during the semester interrelate. By studying contract and tort law before 1L, students are exposed to some of most important cases they will read during their first year, and they will have an early opportunity to brief pivotal case law and to practice legal analysis and reasoning that is directly adaptable to their 1L classes.

The field of law and economics has matured to a point where scholars employ economic methods to understand the nature of legal rules and guide legal reform. This text is a broad survey of that scholarship as it has been applied to problems in tort, contracts, property and litigation.

What happens if a driver carelessly crashes into another car? Or a newspaper publishes a story which makes derogatory comments about someone? Or if a resident plays loud music every night so that their neighbour cannot get any sleep? Tort law is a collection of such misbehaviours or misadventures where the law deems it appropriate to intervene with civil remedies. This new textbook addresses a range of the most prominent torts. The law is explained with clear writing and an accessible approach, relating the subject to everyday examples. There are key learning points to help anchor the reader’s basic understanding, and sections of analysis to guide the reader to a more advanced critical engagement. Above all, tort law is interesting, for it covers so much of our daily lives, and is a constant source of evolving litigation. The Routledge Spotlights series brings a modern, contemporary approach to the core curriculum for the LLB and GDL, which will help students: move beyond an understanding of the law; refine and develop the key skills of problem-solving, evaluation and critical reasoning; discover sources and suggestions for taking your study further. By focusing on recent case law and real-world examples, Routledge Spotlights will help you shed light on the law, understand how it operates in practice, and gain a unique appreciation of the contemporary context of the subject. This book is supported by a range of online resources developed to aid your learning, keep you up to date and help you prepare for assessments.
