Product Description
Before you draft your next complaint, this is the book you need to read. Every lawyer, both novice and seasoned, will benefit from this authoritative treatment of Massachusetts civil causes of action. The causes of action covered in this book's 760-plus pages range from ancient common law tort actions, such as Waste—to straightforward strict liability actions, such as Dog Owner Liability—to socially complex theories of prenatal liability that invoke 20th century medicine and 21st century genetics, such as Wrongful Birth/Conception/Life.
Every civil litigator knows the persuasive power of case law citations that are right on point. This practical reference contains over 2,200 endnotes, citing approximately 1,500 cases that reflect intense research of each cause of action—representing hundreds of sets of facts and illustrating how the causes of action are claimed and defended against in Massachusetts courts.
If you are looking to demystify civil causes of action, understand their elements inside out, or arm yourself with defenses backed in decades of Massachusetts' rich case law history, then this is the reference source you'll want.
