Summer Program in Venice
I have spent the last several weeks teaching in Venice; I'm home now and blogging should be much more consistent again.
I taught a class entitled "Tort Law in Global Perspective," using Julie Davies and Paul Hayden's Global Issues in Tort Law. I liked the book and I believe my students did as well. It is relatively cheap and not physically heavy. It provides a good overview of doctrinal differences among countries in many major areas of tort law. It covers the Alien Tort Statute, Torture Victim Protection Act, Anti-Terrorism Act, Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, and Warsaw Convention. It was a great experience for me because I have a better understanding of comparative tort law. And, of course, I got to spend several weeks in Venice.
