This revised edition replaces some cases and adds new notes and problems designed to stimulate student discussion as well as update the text with new developments, including selected proposed changes in the Uniform Commercial Code and novel issues involving electronic information transfer.
This new edition of Contract Law and Theory, the leading theoretical casebook on contracts, continues to emphasize Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
Contracts and Sales: Contemporary Cases and Problems presents the concepts of contract law in contemporary language and in contemporary settings while still including some of the old "chestnut cases."
Every chapter in this innovative casebook places students in roles as practitioners handling simulated law practice problems; provides context in the form of an overview of the law, similar to that which an attorney would read before reading cases in a new subject area; includes questions designed to encourage students to find the applicable statutes and cases on point in the state where the student is planning to practice law; includes exercises, visual aids, and case reading scaffolds, designed to engage students with a wide range of learning styles; and ends with professionalism questions addressing ethical and professional identity questions suggested by the materials in the chapter.
This casebook is designed to meet the challenges of providing students with the most current and comprehensive analysis of modern contract law within the time constraints of the modern law school curricula.
Contracts: Cases, Text, and Problems promotes deep learning and formative assessment by combining introductory text, cases and statutes, and numerous exercises. The content and organization of the third edition is designed to maximize each student's comprehension and development of analytic skills. Charts and diagrams provide additional guidance to visual learners.
These titles take the “Law in Action” part of the title seriously. The books put contracts problems in context and focus on contracts problems that students will face when they become lawyers.
