Previously - Blackstone's Q&A: Law of Torts
OUP's Law Questions and Answers series gives students the opportunity to practise their exam techniques and evaluate and assess their progress. This new edition of Q&A Law of Torts has been fully revised to offer comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of all the essential aspects of the law. The ideal revision aid, it is divided into chapters covering each major topic, and contains around fifty questions and full answers designed to test even the best prepared student.

The book opens with a dedicated chapter on study skills, explaining how to answer both essay and problem type questions in the examination, as well as how to tackle coursework. Each chapter contains an introduction focusing on important legal aspects and summarising points of interest. After each question there is a commentary which highlights the essential elements and indicates exactly what the examiners are looking for. Every commentary is followed by a bullet-pointed answer plan illuminating key points to provide students with instant confidence.

Q&A Law of Torts is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre providing annotated web links and a glossary of terms from the Dictionary of Law
