CasebookConnect offers you what you need most to be successful in your law school classes - portability, meaningful feedback, and greater efficiency. Contracts: Cases, Discussion, and Problems, Fourth Edition is known for its strikingly clear, straightforward text that illuminates cases as well as concepts and theory. The book focuses on modern cases to expose students to contemporary contract law, but it also includes many important or iconic older cases. Numerous problems, ranging from simple to complex, supplement cases and introduce topics taught most effectively through problems. The casebook's traditional organization begins with formation and then corresponds to the sequence followed by the Restatement (2nd) of Contracts and treatises. Procedural issues are highlighted when presented by the cases and transactional issues such as drafting, client counseling, and negotiation are raised through the use of questions and small exercises throughout the text. Strengthening the text's focus on contemporary methods of contracting, modern issues in standard contracts are explored along with contracts entered into electronically. International and comparative material offers alternative approaches for students to consider, such as those taken by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts. Key Features: A continuing focus on contracting via electronic media. An increase in the number of problems and the conversion of former case notes into problems. New multiple choice self-assessment questions for each chapter at the end of the book.

If your professor chooses this textbook, you are LUCKY! It is wonderfully well-written in a clear and concise way with excellent explanations, relevant cases, and well organized hypotheticals, all working together to develop a thorough understanding of each concept. The reader will NOT walk away with a hazy understanding of contract law. So many legal textbooks are full of themselves with language so dense that reading them is like solving a puzzle. This book is a breath of fresh air.

I literally read this book cover to cover, and I certainly would not read any other textbook all the way through. The pages are thick and the typeface is large, so my eyes didn't hurt after squinting at a page. Many textbooks seem jumbled, but the concepts are neatly laid out in this edition. The opinions are edited well, without too much extraneous information. However, there's not a lot of information on the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) or any comparative contracts law. The authors do a good job gathering contracts cases from across the country and didn't succumb to the temptation to drown their readers in legalese. I also disagree with the previous reviewer. In fact, many law text editors purposely use the feminine pronoun (she/her) to be, in a sense, distracting. Most readers, both male and female, expect a masculine pronoun. A feminine pronoun in its place will require re-engagement by the reader and may (because of our cultural biases) "humanize" the subject. For a more detailed history of the use of masculine and feminine pronouns in legal writing, see Petersson, Gender Neutral Drafting: A Historical Perspective, 19 Statute Law Review 2, 93-112, available at [..] [..]
