The 2023 Desk Edition provides an up-to-date exploration of the latest developments in contract law based on continuous review of the latest judicial decisions since the last revision. The 2023 Edition:

•  Elucidates the evolving law of arbitration agreements, including the determination of when arbitrability is decided by the arbitrator as opposed to the court, as well as the Supreme Court’s recent guidance on the waiver of the right to arbitrate.
•  Spotlights recent caselaw dealing with the enforceability of online agreements that hyperlink to terms of use.
•  Highlights decisions holding that market downturns do not excuse the promisor’s obligations based on impossibility and similar theories.
•  Explores cases that deal with construing preliminary agreements as contracts binding on the parties’ ultimate contractual objective.
•  Discusses cases dealing with the difference between goods and services and the difference between the U.C.C. and the CISG.
•  Shines a spotlight on recent caselaw dealing with the duty to negotiate in good faith; allowing recovery for unjust enrichment when the conduct at issue is governed by a contract; attempts to bind a party to a contract based on that party’s silence; and the infamous “battle of the forms.”

Corbin on Contracts is one of the most cited and influential treatises in print. The Corbin on Contracts Desk Edition provides a single-volume compendium of contract law, giving effective, efficient, accurate, and current analysis of all the tenets of the law of contracts. It is not merely an abridged version of the sixteen-volume landmark work.

Although it is a product complete unto itself, through the use of numerous practice resource references incorporated into every chapter, the Desk Edition provides the user with immediate reference to the multitude of case law citations, statutes, and other relevant material found in the full sixteen-volume Corbin treatise. In short, the user of the Desk Edition is provided with both a single-volume explanation of contract law and also with a vehicle that offers the option of doing deeper research by providing particular, continuous, and accurate references to the master treatise.

The 2021 edition ISBN is 9781663325389.
