Reception
Jörg Fedtke, a law professor at Tulane University, wrote that the book, which is written by Charles Mitchell and Paul Mitchell and 14 contributors, is "a remarkable collection of stimulating and highly nuanced chapters that represent as many different perspectives on tort law as the number of influential cases the authors discuss along the way".[1] Robert H. George reviewed the book in Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly.[2]
