Overview

To expose your students to how engaging contracts scholarship\-both classic and contemporary\-addresses the practical problems raised by traditional cases and doctrine, add this extensively revised anthology to your teaching materials. PERSPECTIVES ON CONTRACT LAW, Third Edition, nicely complements any casebook, but integrates seamlessly with the author's popular CONTRACTS: CASES AND DOCTRINE, Third Edition.

Discover the many strengths of this accessible paperback:

  • authorship by a professor who has taught contracts at a variety of law schools and understands differing student needs
  • more complete excerpts than are possible in a casebook, but still concise enough to be manageable for students
  • logical, modular organization that allows the book to be used easily with any contracts coursebook
  • articles selected for diversity to represent a variety of contract theorists and approaches-both classics and more recent writings
  • accessibility; articles are selected and edited with the first-year law student in mind to encourage an understanding of the bridge between theory and practice
  • original introductory text frames the topic of each chapter and introduces the authors of the works to follow
  • short, one-paragraph 'Study Guides' before each article suggest the themes explored in the readings to stimulate independent thought and enrich student engagement

This completely updated Third Edition offers:

  • new scholarship on e-commerce and assent
  • new coverage of mutual mistake and formal contracting
  • updated Study Guides
