| torts e&e: Getting to Maybe Richard Michael Fischl, Jeremy R. Paul, 1999-05-01 Professors Fischl and Paul explain law school exams in ways no one has before, all with an eye toward improving the reader’s performance. The book begins by describing the difference between educational cultures that praise students for “right answers,” and the law school culture that rewards nuanced analysis of ambiguous situations in which more than one approach may be correct. Enormous care is devoted to explaining precisely how and why legal analysis frequently produces such perplexing situations. But the authors don’t stop with mere description. Instead, Getting to Maybe teaches how to excel on law school exams by showing the reader how legal analysis can be brought to bear on examination problems. The book contains hints on studying and preparation that go well beyond conventional advice. The authors also illustrate how to argue both sides of a legal issue without appearing wishy-washy or indecisive. Above all, the book explains why exam questions may generate feelings of uncertainty or doubt about correct legal outcomes and how the student can turn these feelings to his or her advantage. In sum, although the authors believe that no exam guide can substitute for a firm grasp of substantive material, readers who devote the necessary time to learning the law will find this book an invaluable guide to translating learning into better exam performance. “This book should revolutionize the ordeal of studying for law school exams… Its clear, insightful, fun to read, and right on the money.” — Duncan Kennedy, Carter Professor of General Jurisprudence, Harvard Law School “Finally a study aid that takes legal theory seriously… Students who master these lessons will surely write better exams. More importantly, they will also learn to be better lawyers.” — Steven L. Winter, Brooklyn Law School “If you can't spot a 'fork in the law' or a 'fork in the facts' in an exam hypothetical, get this book. If you don’t know how to play 'Czar of the Universe' on law school exams (or why), get this book. And if you do want to learn how to think like a lawyer—a good one—get this book. It's, quite simply, stone cold brilliant.” — Pierre Schlag, University of Colorado School of Law (Law Preview Book Review on The Princeton Review website) Attend a Getting to Maybe seminar!

| torts e&e: Inside Trump's EPA Mike Stoker, 2022-02-24 Making the decision to write this book was no small undertaking. Not only would I be telling my story in the aftermath of a controversial firing, but I would also be telling it in the aftermath of one of the more controversial administrations in US history. Why do this, then? I decided to write Inside Trump's EPA for several reasons. First, I wanted to be able to share a side of the EPA that the general public and even those who interface with the agency on a regular basis didn't understand. While the perception of the EPA is generally as an agency whose sole focus is on the regulatory front and playing gotcha, the enforcement and regulatory side of the EPA is actually a small amount of the work that their career men and women do every day in carrying out the EPA's mission to protect human health and the environment. While the EPA takes enforcement of our environmental laws and regulations very seriously, the fact is that over 60 percent of the EPA's total budget goes to grants and funding for our states, tribal nations, US territories, and even indirectly, the Freely Associated States of Palau, Marshall Islands, and the Kwajalein Atoll to implement clean air and water programs and strategies, facilitate the removal of marine debris and microplastics, protect the coral reefs, develop brownfield projects, clean up Superfund sites, and engage in effective emergency management during federally declared emergencies. The list goes on from there. The extent and nature of the true work of the EPA will be explored in depth in this book and may belie many commonly held misconceptions about the agency. I also wanted to write this book to pay tribute to the career staff of the EPA. My term working as regional administrator of the Southwest region gave me the opportunity to work with the most professional and most dedicated people I have ever worked with in my life. I can tell you that not once did I see a person from rank and file to senior staff who didn't give 110 percent every day they went to work. I am also writing this book to publicly disclose actions that were taken by the top leadership in Trump's EPA that I feel did not serve the interests or directions of the administration. I don't believe the president or the senior members of the White House staff were aware of these actions. These actions didn't serve the mission of the EPA. I also believe they were unethical, violated the oath taken to serve, and perhaps were even illegal. These were actions that were taken by Administrator Wheeler, Acting Deputy Administrator Doug Benevento, and potentially a handful of other presidential appointees. My final reason for writing this book is to provide anyone interested in the environment and its protection with an inside look at the day-to-day operations of the EPA and the vast role the agency and its employees play in making our environment safer and cleaner, improving our daily quality of life in so many ways, and protecting our human health. I want to dedicate this book to my incredible wife, Debi, without whose persistence this book would not have been written. I would also like to dedicate this book to the career men and women of the Southwest region of the US EPA, who gave me years of working with the best of the best. This book is a salute to all of you and what you do every day in getting up and giving it your all in service to the EPA and its mission. |

The clear, balanced presentation enables students to comprehend the overarching structure and organization of Tort law. The Eighth Edition has thoroughly reviewed and updated cases and secondary sources, with recent and compelling cases substituted throughout. The text now incorporates the finalized Restatement (Third) of Torts: Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm. Expanded coverage of Tort theory includes corrective justice and the related civil recourse school of thought, complementing the law and economic theory perspective that has been a feature of the book since its inception. Notes on legal ethics and law and economics are completely revised. Problems have been refreshed and many new problems have been added. New material on Global Dimensions of Tort Law in Chapter 15 reflects the fact that the Supreme Court may determine that companies whose gas emissions contribute to climate change may be held liable under the federal common law of public nuisance. New Supreme Court cases have been added in the areas of preemption and punitive damages, for example Snyder v. Phelps, concerning constitutional limitations on intentional infliction of emotional distress liability.

Robertson, 2011 Organized along traditional doctrinal lines, Robertson, Powers, Anderson and Wellborn's Cases and Materials on Torts teaches students how tort law works to resolve disputes in the real world of litigation and settlement negotiations.

The book's concluding chapters offer basic coverage of medical malpractice, common law strict liability, products liability, and nuisance. |

Modeled on the venerable Prosser casebook, but intended to be modern, accessible, and sophisticated, this book consistently gets high marks from students for being clear, user-friendly, and not playing hide-the-ball like so many other casebooks. Challenging hypotheticals and authors' dialogues engage students while allowing instructors to probe more deeply into ambiguous or developing areas of law. The book's manageable length makes it ideal for a three- to four-hour introductory Torts course. New to the 6th Edition: * Cases that are judiciously edited, so as to let the judges' voices be heard, along with the inclusion of dissenting opinions where important. * Numerous recent cases have been added both in the notes and as principal cases, while old material has been pruned back to reduce unnecessary bulk. * Continued integration of the Third Restatement throughout the book, including caselaw development following the new Restatement (particularly in the area of foreseeability, duty, and proximate cause). Professors and student will benefit from: * Designed to clarify the law, not befuddle students. * Explanations, note cases, and hypotheticals increase understanding. * Written in the authors' voices, the book is plain-spoken and transparent about both the law and the authors' pedagogical goals. * Based on student and professor surveys, the book has been hailed as one of the most user-friendly casebooks that students use in law school as reflected in student evaluations of faculty. * The comprehensive Teachers' Manual informs instructors about developing issues, point out important secondary literature, and answer the questions raised in the notes and hypotheticals. |
