Description

I created this resource in anticipation of teaching my Torts II class, which will primarily explore defamation and privacy torts. Though I searched for a suitable coursebook, I found that none contained all of the opinions I consider essential for teaching the nuances and complexities of these subjects. Additionally, I wanted to spare my students the exorbitant price tags associated with traditional law school texts. Hence, I assembled a collection of relevant privacy and defamation cases that align with the objectives of my course. Each case is accompanied by a set of questions to further stimulate class discussion. Where I thought necessary, I included clarifying comments and summaries. I made this resource available under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial (CC BY-NC) license and hope that others will not only use it to their own benefit, but adapt it to meet their own needs (provided they respect the non-commerciality and attribution conditions).
