In that tort law employs theory at all it is typically theory measured against notions of corrective justice or appeals to utility. Both have severe prescriptive restrictions and limited explanatory power and often stray from any useful description of tort cases in the courts. Tort Wars looks at the nature of dispute resolution techniques criticizes the blasę justice and more esoteric utility theory and examines the problems of both the legal academy and the veracity vacuum in the courtroom. Further it explores the conceptual differences between tort and contract locating contract as a subset of tort. It uses examples drawn from the edges of tort law in an attempt to measure central cases by the marginal ones and to provide a barometer of emerging legal and social change achieved through imposing an individualized peace.1.
