Professor Gary Myers and Meghan McAuliff, ’25, have published a new casebook that refocuses tort law for the NextGen Bar Exam. McAuliff, who is a current law clerk for Missouri Supreme Court Judge Paul Wilson, along with Professor Tracy Pearl of the University of Oklahoma, worked with Professor Myers publish “Experiencing Tort Law,” which takes a blended approach to learning tort law, incorporating traditional cases and restatement provisions with new cases highlighting modern applications of tort law to new and novel issues. The book also includes experiential exercises and practice multiple choice questions at the end of each section, allowing ample opportunity to test student preparedness against commonly tested bar exam topics.
The authors made extended efforts to choose cases with direct, concise analysis as well as interesting, stand-out fact patterns. Additionally, section introductions clearly outline hard-to-learn concepts and cases are chosen with a balance between tradition and clarity. Notes following important cases and concepts call attention to the most important aspects of each case while inviting students to think more deeply about law and policy.
