Problems In Contract Law: Cases And Materials

This edition retains the great features that have made the book a dependable source by:
- incorporating a balanced blend of traditional and contemporary cases
- including explanatory notes and text that help students place cases in a larger context and explore related points
- offering significant treatment of the CISG
- maintaining the Fifth Edition's reflection of complexity of current 21st century contract law with its varied strains and constant flux
- providing three accompanying ancillaries:
i. an outstanding, detailed Teachers Manual with sample syllabi for various credit courses, sample lesson plans, specific questions, and detailed analyses of all problems in the book
ii. a companion statutory and case supplement: Rules of Contract Law, 2007-2008 Edition (available August 2007)
iii. a website with related material for instructors' use
Many updates make this an even more valuable source for your classroom. The Sixth Edition:
- reorganizes chapters 2 and 3 dealing with the traditional basis for contract formation and liability under other theories
- presents new material examining the strains increasingly exerted on the conventional contract law system over the past 10-15 years by new forms of contracting (electronic, etc.) and by the increased use of mandatory arbitration clauses in mass adhesion contracting (e.g., banks, communications providers, hospitals)
- provides increased flexibility for professors who prefer to reorder the chapters rather than teach them in a more linear sequence
- shortens the notes, relocating student-oriented material to the website and professor-oriented material to the Teacher's Manual
