Foundations of Tort Law

Summary: Interesting collection of essays
Review: Hey law students - this is a well-executed collection of essays on tort law. It has excerpts from some classic law and econ articles like Coase's "The Problem of Social Cost" and Calabresi and Melamed's "Property Rules, Liability Rules, and Inalienability: One View of the Cathedral." If you're not a law and econ type, there are other good essays from areas like feminist law theory and tort law history. It's certainly more fun to read than your average torts case-book, though I guess that's not saying much. If you want some extra perspective on tort law, I'd recommend this book.
