Answer to Question 1

The two torts may be further divided into the libel or slander that is per se and the libel or slander that is not per se. It is important in some cases because libel/slander per se requires no showing of specific damages for the plaintiff to recover a judgment, whereas libel/slander that is not per se demands such a showing from the injured party.

Answer to Question 2

The tort of Libel and Slander are parts of defamation. Libel is defamation in writing and slander is defamation through speech.
