"A Selection of Cases on the Law of Torts" by James Barr Ames and Jeremiah Smith is a legal anthology written in the early 20th century. This collection delves into various legal principles and landmark cases related to tort law, serving as an educational resource primarily for law students and academics. The anthology aims to illuminate the intricacies of tort liability, negligence, intentional interference, and related concepts through the examination of illustrative cases. The beginning of this work sets the stage for the comprehensive exploration of tort law, beginning with a preface by Roscoe Pound, who discusses pedagogical adjustments at Harvard Law School that prompted the reorganization of content within the text. He emphasizes that students should seek connections between different areas of law, and cautions them not to compartmentalize their studies. Following the preface, readers are introduced to a systematic breakdown of tort cases, beginning with "Intentional Interference," where notable cases involving assault and battery are presented. Each case aims to clarify concepts of liability and civil rights, showcasing the evolution of legal interpretations and standards surrounding tortious actions.
