Pioneers, Consolidators and Iconoclasts of Tort Law

Scholars of Tort Law by James Goudkamp and Donal Nolan

Abstract

This essay reviews Scholars of Tort Law, a collection of essays edited and introduced by James Goudkamp and Donal Nolan. Twelve leading contemporary tort law scholars have written about the work and influence of leading tort scholars in the United States, England and the British Commonwealth working in the late 19^th and 20^th centuries during the formative period of tort law as a discrete field of legal scholarship. Essentially historical, the essays nevertheless discuss theories and contrasting approaches to tort law that remain just as relevant to legal educators and scholars of tort law today.
