Pennsylvania has a unique take on contract law with holdings and rules of law that depart from the mainstream in numerous significant respects. Understanding Pennsylvania contract law requires a careful examination of the applicable judicial holdings by leading Pennsylvania contract law attorneys, authors Tim Murray and Jon Hogue.

Corbin on Pennsylvania Contracts combines jurisdictional insight with the authority of the Corbin contracts brand to provide effective, efficient, current analysis of all tenets of Pennsylvania contract law in a single authoritative volume. Gain clarity on what's true and what's not true about contracts in Pennsylvania.

This volume provides a full, accurate statement of Pennsylvania contract law, demonstrating how Pennsylvania contract law differs from the majority of other prominent jurisdictions and positions.

This compendium explores the Pennsylvania contract law statutes, Pennsylvania statute of frauds and unique holdings of Pennsylvania contract law. Following are examples of contract tenets specific to Pennsylvania.

• Pennsylvania refuses to consider most evidence of fraud to invalidate a contract.
• Pennsylvania has a complicated test for third-party beneficiaries.
• Pennsylvania is in the minority in regarding the "lost volume seller" rule and other key contract rules.
• Pennsylvania adheres to a strict “four corners” approach to contract interpretation and construction.
• Pennsylvania applies the law in the face of disagreement among courts regarding recovery of consumer credit card debt.
