From its first edition in 1978, Missouri Tort Law has been a pillar of the MoBarCLE Deskbook library. The authors of the second edition, published in 1990, addressed substantial and sweeping changes in the law, including the adoption of comparative fault in Missouri. The third edition, published in 2003, addressed the changing principles of tort and range of practice areas affected by those changes, and was supplemented in 2006 and 2010. This fourth edition continues this tradition by providing an updated and comprehensive analysis of tort law in Missouri.

The Missouri Bar thanks the volunteer authors and reviewers for their work to make this edition possible. The name or names of lawyers who wrote each particular chapter are shown on the first page of the chapter as well as in the table of contents. Reviewers are listed in the front pages.
