Cases, Problems and Materials on Contracts

Students and professors alike appreciate all the aspects of this book that make it such an excellent means for studying Contracts:

• thorough coverage of basic themes of contract law contained in a manageable length
• accessible, well-organized, straightforward text beginning with clear introductions to each section and concept
• problem-oriented approach using short, well-conceived hypotheticals
• popular and flexible organization that starts with offer and acceptance and moves to consideration; however, the authors have designed the book so that the course can easily be taught starting with consideration or remedies
• tight case editing that allows students to more easily grasp the pertinent concepts
