Features: Law students often refer to Tort Law and Evidence Law as their "bread-and-butter courses." They believe that mastering these two subjects enables them to govern the nation, promote economic prosperity, safeguard human rights, and spread justice through the law, thereby calling themselves legal professionals. However, those who fail to attain the true essence of law—without learning legal thinking or the ability to resolve individual disputes—cannot stand in today's highly competitive legal society. The system and content of this book are designed to help legal professionals understand the framework of Tort Law, its fundamental concepts and principles, various rights and obligations, as well as remedies for rights. It aims to enable legal professionals to think and argue in accordance with the logic and value orientation of Tort Law, guided by the principle of maximizing the interests of the parties, and to apply the law accordingly. This is to ensure that legal professionals can achieve self-redress through the law and, in accordance with legal provisions, make rational plans in advance to prevent disputes from arising. Even if disputes do occur, they can skillfully use the tools of Tort Law. By realizing the principle of maximizing the interests of the parties, a fair and harmonious order of modern rule of law society can be created and maintained. For a legal professional, possessing the ability to achieve justice through the law is essential. Studying the occurrence of torts, the objects of torts, torts involving multiple parties, the effects of torts, the transfer of torts, and the termination of torts are all necessary components of Tort Law.
