The tort system offers recourse for people aggrieved and harmed by the actions of others. By filing a lawsuit, private citizens can demand the attention of alleged wrongdoers to account for what they’ve done—and of a judge and jury to weigh the claims and set terms of compensation. This book, which can be used as a primary text for a first-year law school torts course, maps the progression of the law of torts through the language and example of public judicial decisions in a range of cases. Taken together, these cases show differing approaches to the problems of defining legal harm and applying those definitions to a messy world.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe cases range from alleged assault and battery by “The Schoolboy Kicker” (1891) to the liability of General Motors for “The Crumpling Toe Plate” (1993). Each case is an artifact of its time; students can compare the judges’ societal perceptions and moral compasses to those of the current era.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book is part of the Open Casebook series from Harvard Law School Library and MIT Press.1 Acknowledgments 1\u003cbr\u003e2 Introduction 3\u003cbr\u003e3 Assault and Battery I 7 \u003cbr\u003e4 Assault and Battery II: Intent and Autonomy 23\u003cbr\u003e5 False Imprisonment: Taking Care of Others 49\u003cbr\u003e6 Defenses: Overriding the Choices of Others 73\u003cbr\u003e7 Trespass to Chattels: The Limits of Self-Help 97\u003cbr\u003e8 Negligence: The Standard of Reasonable Care 123\u003cbr\u003e9 Negligence: Adjusting the Standard? 149\u003cbr\u003e10 Res Ipsa Loquitur 171\u003cbr\u003e11 Negligence Per Se 193\u003cbr\u003e12 Duty I: Introduction; Action vs. Inaction 213\u003cbr\u003e13 Duty II: Duty to Control Others 239\u003cbr\u003e14 Duty III: Governmental Liability 271\u003cbr\u003e15 Duty IV: Emotional and Economic Harm 299\u003cbr\u003e16 Causation 325\u003cbr\u003e17 Proximate Cause 353\u003cbr\u003e18 Vicarious Liability 385\u003cbr\u003e19 Strict Liability 411\u003cbr\u003e20 Defenses I: Contributory and Comparative Faulty 437\u003cbr\u003e21 Defenses II: Assumption of Risk 463\u003cbr\u003e22 Products Liability I: Manufacturing Defects 485\u003cbr\u003e23 Products Liability II: Design Defect and Warning 515\u003cbr\u003e24 Damages 545\u003cbr\u003eIndex of Cases 573\u003cb\u003eJonathan L.
