Corbin on New Jersey Contracts

Corbin on New Jersey Contracts brings New Jersey’s distinctive contract law into focus for lawyers who draft, negotiate and litigate agreements. The treatise examines New Jersey’s contextual approach to contract interpretation, including the role of extrinsic evidence and the questions its case law leaves open. This approach differs from the textualist approach of neighboring New York. It explains how New Jersey’s flexible impracticability standard addresses unforeseen events and how its rules permit enforcement of certain oral agreements, including land contracts. Corbin on New Jersey Contracts also covers offer and acceptance, contract damages and the duty of good faith and fair dealing when a party exercises contractual discretion. And when competing forms complicate a deal, the treatise analyzes the “battle of the forms” through the lens of New Jersey’s unsettled jurisprudence.
