Enclosed are revised Volumes 13, 14 and 15 for Georgia Jurisprudence. These revised volumes replace the existing Volumes 13, 14 and 15, published in 1995, and their pocket parts.

These Volumes cover recent Georgia case law and statutes concerning Torts and Personal Injury, including such topics as Fraud, Nuisance, Alcohol Liability, Professional Malpractice, and Products Liability. West is pleased that James S. Strawinski, of Strawinski & Goldberg, L.L.P. has written the revised topic Aviation Accidents, and that Michael J. Warshauer, of Warshauer Thomas Thornton & Rogers, P.C. has written the revised topic Railroads for this volume.

Throughout these three volumes are references to such authoritative Georgia treatises as Georgia Law of Torts, Georgia Wrongful Death Actions, Punitive Damages in Georgia, and Georgia Products Liability, as well as national treatises such as American Law of Products Liability 3d and Modern Tort Law, Liability and Litigation. References to Brown’s Georgia Pleading, Practice and Legal Forms are also included throughout.
