Acerca de Tort Law
Tort Law is a core specialization within Private Law, itself part of the broader Law & Justice field. It addresses civil wrongs, negligence, intentional torts, and strict liability, and the doctrinal elements of duty, breach, causation, and damages, as well as defenses and remedies such as compensatory and punitive damages and injunctive relief.
The field intersects with regulatory policy, insurance, product safety, public health, and economics; scholars and practitioners use comparative law, empirical research, and interdisciplinary methods to shape liability rules that allocate risk, deter harm, and provide redress. Online study pathways include short professional courses and CLE modules, credit-bearing semester programs, undergraduate law degrees, LLM and specialist graduate certificates (e.g., medical malpractice, product liability), and research doctorates for academic careers.
