Overview

The Tort Bakery Law in Pieces Series Tort law doesn't have to feel cold, abstract, or overwhelming. The Tort Bakery is part of the Law in Pieces Series - a narrative-driven approach to legal education designed for students who want the law to be relatable. Whether you are teaching yourself the law, studying across jurisdictions, or returning to legal education after time away, this book was written with you in mind. In this volume, each core doctrine of tort law is paired with a memorable cookie recipe, transforming legal elements into something intuitive, relatable, and unforgettable. Negligence becomes a recipe that collapses if even one ingredient is missing. Proximate cause turns on foreseeability you can taste. Defenses reshape liability the way texture reshapes a finished bake. This is not a traditional outline. It is a learning bridge. Inside, you will explore: The four elements of negligence: duty, breach, causation, and damages Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress (NIED) Defenses to negligence, including assumption of risk, comparative fault, and contributory negligence Intentional torts such as battery, assault, false imprisonment, trespass, conversion, and IIED Defenses to intentional torts, including consent, self-defense, defense of property, and necessity Doctrines extending liability, including vicarious liability and strict liability Each chapter blends clear black-letter law with narrative explanation, simple hypotheticals, and visual metaphors designed to help you recognize patterns, spot issues, and retain doctrine under pressure. The Law in Pieces Series was born from lived experience - from teaching oneself the law, from studying across legal systems, and from believing that confusion does not mean incompetence. These books are for students who learn through story, structure, and connection. They are not shortcuts. They are companions. If you have ever felt shut out of the law, overwhelmed by doctrine, or unsure whether you belong - this book was written for you. Welcome to The Tort Bakery. Let's make the law stick.
