The fields of tort and crime have much in common in practice, particularly in how they both try to respond to wrongs and regulate future behaviour. Despite this commonality in fact, fascinating difficulties have hitherto not been resolved about how legal systems co-ordinate (or leave wild) the border between tort and crime. What is the purpose of tort law and criminal law, and how do you tell the difference between them? Do criminal lawyers and civil lawyers reason and argue in the same way?

Casebook on Torts is essential reading for students new to studying tort law at undergraduate level, providing a comprehensive, portable library of the leading cases in the field. It presents an impressive range of carefully edited extracts, which clearly illustrate the essence and reasoning behind each decision made. Concise author commentary focuses the reader on the key elements within the extracts, while end-of-chapter questions encourages them to checktheir understanding as they progress.

This book provides a comprehensive theory of the rights upon which tort law is based and the liability that flows from violating those rights. Inspired by the account of private law contained in Immanuel Kant's Metaphysics of Morals, the book shows that Kant's theory elucidates a conception of interpersonal wrongdoing that illuminates the operation of tort law.

Introduction written by Professor Benjamin B FerenczThis challenging volume examines the jurisprudence of international criminal justice from various points of view.
