Advanced Torts

This course will survey torts claims, related defenses, and issues beyond those covered in the first year torts course. Topics will likely include intentional torts to the person and to property, defamation, invasion of privacy, fraud/misrepresentation, deceptive trade practices claims, interference with business/contractual relations and wrongful discharge, and Section 1983 “constitutional tort” claims. This elective course is designed both to enhance coverage of torts claims tested on bar examinations, and also offer students interested in tort law additional advanced coursework.
