The primary, required book for the course:
The main casebook for the course is an open-source/open-access (a/k/a "OER") book, so it's free to download and print copies are inexpensive.
Wait before you spend any money or order things.
On the first day of class, I'll talk about the book, the new revision of it, the different ways you might access it and why, etc.

The book is in two volumes:
- Torts: Cases and Context, Volume One (2024; Pylon Edition, Version 2.1)
- Torts: Cases and Context, Volume Two ( 2025; Pylon Edition, Version 2.1)
These volumes are available for free download in PDF and DOCX formats. To make sure you are looking at the right edition/revision, look for the green safety cone on the cover, and look for version "2.1".
You have lots of options in terms of how you might access the books:
- You could read them on your computer or tablet.
- You could print them yourself.
- You could have someone print them for you.
- You could purchase paperback-bound copies. I have worked to make them available through Lulu.com and Amazon.com. There are links on the casebook website.
