Inaugural Publication

Law of Torts
by Tim Kaye

In the first Webby Book to be published, Dr. Tim Kaye takes an entirely fresh approach to the casebook medium.

Unlike so many other casebooks, this is not just a series of case extracts cut-and-pasted together with minimal editorial input. On the contrary, Kaye provides both a helpful introduction to, and commentary on, each topic addressed.

Kaye’s Law of Torts changes the way students study torts.
Robert Dale Bickel
Professor of Law
This book makes learning a very abstract topic much simpler, as students can easily navigate between chapters and subsections, use the “find” tool, highlight, and even write notes that save on their Webby profile. It is much more than a bland case law textbook, and is an excellent tool for both learning and teaching tort law.
Christian Romaguera
Law Student
The Law of Torts Webby Book is clear, easy to read and has great charts and graphs to navigate through the various topics. It is a great shift from the traditional casebook.
Brigette Perl
Law Student
As the course goes on it is very easy to click around the text for a reminder of the relevant factors from the past chapters. It is also very convenient to have the definitions with the scroll of a mouse, and to have your text on the laptop with you so you can always access it.
Marissa Cioffi
Law Student
The text is very easy on the reader’s eye and contains design features that permit casual movement within the textual parts.
Michael Finch
Professor of Law
The order of the material flows seamlessly and logically, which makes it easier to grasp and retain the material.
Scott Hubbard
Law Student
Thanks for writing this book. It was great to learn from.

The connections made between the social policies behind decisions and the decisions themselves help to connect the ideas and the larger picture about why torts exist.

The ease of navigation is tremendous when I want to search for a particular phrase or case; the search function allows me to do so and enhances the efficiency of my studies.

This is the type of work that American profs should be doing.
