Cases, Problems, and Materials on Contracts, Fifth Edition, is distinguished by its excellent organization and straightforward approach. This case-and problem-oriented casebook provides unparalleled flexibility: Its length makes it suitable for use in courses of varying course hours, and its adaptable organization accommodates different teaching requirements, styles, and approaches.

Students and professors alike appreciate all the aspects of this book that make it such an excellent means for studying Contracts:

thorough coverage of basic themes of contract law contained in a manageable length

accessible, well-organized, straightforward text beginning with clear introductions to each section and concept

problem-oriented approach using short, well-conceived hypotheticals with answers provided in the Teacher’s Manual

popular and flexible organization that starts with offer and acceptance and moves to consideration; however, the authors have designed the book so that the course can easily be taught starting with consideration or remedies

tight case editing that allows students to more easily grasp the pertinent concepts

Enhancements to the Fifth Edition include:

in-depth discussion of adhesion contracts versus negotiated contracts

all Article 1 citations have been updated to the newest version of Article 1

extensive revision of notes concerning the “battle of the forms” issue in Chapter 1, Intent to Contract: Offer and Acceptance

problems have been added and refreshed throughout the text

problems, notes, and the selection and order of cases have been revised in Chapter 5, The Parole Evidence Rule and Interpretation of the Contract

revised and updated Teacher’s Manual

The flexible, problem-oriented organization of Cases, Problems, and Materials on Contracts, Fifth Edition, as well as its careful selection and editing of cases, make this casebook a highly effective teaching tool.

Problems in Contract Law: Cases and Materials

(Adaptable for instructors with various teaching styles, <...)

Adaptable for instructors with various teaching styles, PROBLEMS IN CONTRACT LAW: Cases and Materials provides a balanced approach to traditional case analysis, problem-based instruction, and theoretical inquiry. Now in its Sixth Edition, this casebook offers a highly intelligent, contemporary treatment of contract law and maintains the success of its previous editions, in part, by including a variety of perspectives and contractual settings.
This edition retains the great features that have made the book a dependable source. It:

incorporates a balanced blend of traditional and contemporary cases

includes explanatory notes and text that help students place cases in a larger context and explore related points

offers significant treatment of the CISG

maintains the Fifth Edition¿s reflection of complexity of current 21st century contract law with its varied strains and constant flux

provides three accompanying ancillaries: 1. an outstanding, detailed Teacher's Manual with sample syllabi for various credit courses, sample lesson plans, specific questions, and detailed analyses of all problems in the book 2. a companion statutory and case supplement: Rules of Contract Law, 2007¿2008 Edition (available August 2007) 3. 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
