PLEG 220 Torts & Remedies
Introduction to me and the course
Torts is the area of civil law that governs private injuries and harms. In this class, we will study negligence, intentional torts, and strict liability. We will look at the elements of each type of tort, as well as remedies. Building on PLEG120, we will use civil procedure rules in at the context of tort litigation.
First thing's first...
To get started, please read over the syllabus and the tracking calendar "Introductory Documents" tab on the left-hand side. The supplemental syllabus contains things like grading criteria, supplemental readings (which are required!), and basic class info.
Make sure to check the Announcements page throughout each week as I post information about assignments and supplementary material of general interest to the paralegal field.

You can also post to the "Ask Your Instructor" discussion forum if you think other students would benefit from your question, comment, and/or concern, as well as my response. Please do not use this discussion forum to post questions of a private or individual nature (e.g. grades) as the entire class has access to the posts.
