Synopsis

Buy a new version of this Connected Casebook and receive ACCESS to the online e-book, practice questions from your favorite study aids, and an outline tool on CasebookConnect, the all in one learning solution for law school students. CasebookConnect offers you what you need most to be successful in your law school classes – portability, meaningful feedback, and greater efficiency.

Contracts: Cases and Doctrine’s back-to-basics, case-based approach gives students ample doctrinal material as they sift through and analyze facts for prevailing themes and theory. Cases are lightly edited, or presented whole, to give first-year students the opportunity to develop case-analysis skills. The popular flexible organization begins with Remedies, but chapters can be taught in any order. A mixture of classic and contemporary cases adds interest and affords teaching alternatives. Each chapter begins with a brief textual introduction, and Study Guide questions before each case help focus student attention on salient issues. Background information provides context for understanding cases, and abundant citations reference popular and respected sources. Relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code and the Restatement (Second) of Contracts are thoughtfully presented.

The revised Fifth Edition has been updated throughout with new cases added to build upon the strengths of the book. A completely updated Teacher’s Manual includes a Transition Guide as well as Sample Syllabi.
