> Downside: there are no new important torts cases popping up that you'd want to read.

Why is that? e.g. how long ago were the important torts cases, did the law or environment change?

Well, it’s more that the clarifications you get now are not ground-shaking. Many torts have been around for hundreds of years now, so they’re pretty settled. Negligence was 1932, so every now and then someone finds a new duty of care. I guess defamation still gets some airtime in some jurisdictions.
