編後語

東吳大學法學院自創校以來，即高度重視英美相關法制之教學，並以「案例教學」及「全英語授課」為主軸，有效培養具國際競爭力之法律人才。多年來雖有各類案例教科書之編輯出版，但多因長期未能應時更新，難免不敷使用，而選採英美等國出版之原文教科書又因書價昂貴，造成學生重大經濟負擔，至以網路取得之案例不但未經整理編輯，亦欠缺教科書應有之輔助說明。英美法研究中心同仁因此自2017年開始共同編輯相關教科書，並經多次改版，本書即為其中之一。

本書之編纂，主要係供非英美法系法學院基礎教學之用，無論章節篇幅或案例選納均刻意精簡，且為使不同英文程度之同學均能有基本認識，各章節摘要說明多以中文為之。又本書共計八編三十九章，各章節均提供相關原則摘要說明，協助建立架構性認識，並佐以較具代表性判決之選錄，是期透過有限的篇幅，兼顧英美侵權行為法相關法學知識及法律能力之培養。

本人謹此代表全體編纂同仁，感謝理律文教基金會、東吳大學法學院及英美法研究中心所有同仁的協助與支持，尤其感謝實際參與本書編纂的潘維大教授、王震宇教授、范秀羽教授、何婉君教授等人的專業貢獻，各參與教授並一致同意將各年度書籍銷售權利金所得，悉數捐贈予東吳大學法學院，以為本書後續增刪改版之用。

期待本書內容的與時俱進，能使東吳大學法學院多年英美法教學所積蓄之能量，得以繼續為超國界法學教育貢獻棉薄。
