A quick practical introduction to the area of tort law with focus on key terminology, concepts, collocations, prepositions, case brief writing and reading/listening comprehension based on relevant and often controversial tort law cases.

You will learn or review key tort law terminology and concepts. You will perfect your reading comprehension skills based on a recent ruling in a civil action case against social media giants due to their alleged "support" of fundamentalist organizations along with structuring a basic case brief, a skill required of any law student. Similarly, you will also perfect your listening / video comprehension skills based on two videos dealing with famous and/or current tort law litigation, one dealing with the famous "hot coffee" case and the other a verdict in a defective product case against a corporate giant.

This mini course is not intended to go in-depth into the area of tort law, but rather, provide you with the very basics to be able to speak, read, write and understand content related to this area of law.

The approach is rather practical with an introductory session of approx. 80 minutes accompanied by a pdf script of everything said in the video along with key exercises in order to put the theory into practice. All the materials mentioned in the video are attached as resources in each of the 6 Lectures.

Feel also free to leave your comments and thoughts related to the tort law related questions raised in the course, particularly through the video comprehension excercises and the reading comprehension exercise on the course forum.
