Designed as a "teacher's book," the fourth edition of Torts: Cases, Problems, and Exercises contains thought-provoking problems designed to stimulate interesting classroom discussion. The problems are designed to help students learn doctrine, to illuminate trends in the law, and to ultimately produce better learning. A secondary goal was to include a "skills" component, with problems that place students in situations that they are likely to encounter in practice to encourage students to think about how they might handle these situations.

This book also is available in a three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version printed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.
