Final Thoughts for the Law Aspirant
Tort law is essentially the study of human behavior at its worst—accidents, insults, and
carelessness. But it represents the law at its best: a system designed to ensure that if you are
wronged, you aren’t left to suffer alone.
As you flip through your Winfield or Bangia textbooks, remember that every case you read was
a real tragedy or a real dispute for someone. Your job as a future lawyer is to find the balance
between a person’s right to act and another’s right to be safe.
