Volume 29 of Thomson-West’s Washington Practice is a relatively new addition to and often overlooked piece in this indispensible research series.  Titled Elements of an Action, it provides a concise analysis of the litigation elements for a variety of common and not-so-common topics including dog bite cases, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution, nuisance, and dram shop liability.  Each chapter follows a common outline that includes information about authority, time limitations, remedies, defenses, and counterclaims.  Each chapter also includes sample trial documents and other related forms.

Elements of an Action has become a valuable addition to KCLL’s tort law materials and is a research gem you shouldn’t overlook.
