Product Liability Law (Aspen Casebook)
Books / Hardcover
ISBN: 1454806222 / Publisher: Aspen Publishing, April 2012
In addition to introducing the fundamentals of products liability law in a more extended manner than a typical tort law text, Geistfeld (civil litigation, New York U. School of Law) also intends this casebook to provide a thorough understanding of general themes of tort law that run through products liability and to show how doctrinal controversies in product liability result out of the evolutionary processes of common law. Cases and secondary materials have been carefully edited to provide focused consideration of the particular issues under study. Aspen Publishers is now Wolters Kluwer Law & Business.
