The law of torts deals with the sorts of disputes which arise when one person has caused injury or property loss to another. The largest part of the course will deal with the tort of negligence, but intentional torts, strict liability torts, and nuisance will also be discussed. Different theoretical perspectives on tort law will be analyzed and some consideration given to alternative methods of compensating for personal injuries.

Evaluation
will be evaluated by a December test (potentially 20% of the final examination grade if it is to the student’s advantage), a three-hour open-book final examination (100% of the final examination grade, subject to the December test component if counting the December test is to the student’s advantage). The final exam will include short answer and multiple choice.
