Cases, Problems, and Materials on Contracts (Aspen Casebook Series)

Cases, Problems, and Materials on Contracts is distinguished among other texts by its excellent organization and thorough coverage of the basic themes of contract law. The accessible, straightforward text begins with clear introductions to each section or concept. Carefully selected, the cases have been tightly edited for best effect. Using a problem-oriented approach, short, well-conceived hypotheticals engage the students. A well-received and flexible organization starts with "Offer and Acceptance" and moves to "Consideration" however, the book is designed so courses can easily start with "Consideration" or "Remedies." Its flexibility allows for use in courses in which professors are required to teach sales and also can be adapted to avoid teaching the UCC. A manageable length accounts for the book being used in courses of 4, 5, and 6-hour length. The authors have worked closely on all chapters to deliver a seamless revision to this popular text.

The Sixth Edition has been updated with recent cases, as the authors combed through hundreds to select the best.
