You will most likely not buy this book for fun but because your 1st year law professor tells you to. Most parts of the book are very dry and it takes a long time to read it properly. The cases are good, standard Tort cases. The most helpful explanations can be found in the Notes and Questions. While the book is dry bordering on boring, the Notes and Questions at the end of each chapter will give you a much better understanding of the information. Franklin and Rabin deal with physical injuries, non-physical harm, causation, trespass and liability.
Not a great reference book, which it doesn’t pretend to be. Very much a standard text book to be used for first year Tort Law.
Rating: 4 / 5
I never encountered a less useful book during all my three long years at law school. Do youself a favor and buy a companion guide- nutshell or something.

The notes in this book were the most interesting of any case book I have used in law school so far. It gives you the rules, other useful cases, and real-life changes to think about. The cases are all the same in every Tort casebook for the most part, but the editing kept this book well paced.
