The Glannon Guide to Torts: Learning Torts Through Multiple-Choice Questions and Analysis (Glannon Guides)

Book Synopsis: A concise, clear, effective review of Tort law topics organized around the theme of multiple-choice questions. The basic format follows the same structure established by the first title in the series, Joseph Glannon's The Glannon Guide to Civil Procedure. The book includes brief explanatory text about the topic under discussion, followed by one or two multiple-choice questions. After each question, the author explains how the correct choice was chosen. Thus the student reviews course content and also learns how to analyze exam questions.

Features:

• Integrates multiple-choice questions into a full-fledged review of the first-year Torts course
• Lead-up discussion of law in the text prepares students to learn effectively from subsequent questions
• Clear explanations of correct and incorrect answers help to clarify nuances in the law
• Multiple-choice questions are sophisticated but fair, neither too difficult nor unrealistically straightforward
• Equally useful to all students, regardless of whether they will be tested by multiple-choice questions on their exams
• Embodies a far more user-friendly and interactive approach than other exam preparation aids
• A more challenging final question in each chapter (the "Closer") illustrates a more sophisticated problem in the area under discussion
• "Closing Closer" questions in the last chapter provide practice and helpful review of concepts in earlier chapters, meant to test knowledge across the range of Torts issues
• Valuable exam-taking pointers interspersed within the substantive text
