  Tort law is the technical name for part of our system concerning civil liability. When people turn to the legal system for compensation for some injury they have suffered, the rules of tort come into play. This volume examines the place of the modern rules of tort in the social context and outlines the way in which the different rules are made. It provides a simple, accessible introduction to tort law's complex and confusing rules and vocabulary.
