Contract Law: A Case and Problem Based Approach (Aspen Casebook)

Contract Law: A Case & Problem-Based Approach provides an organizational structure that introduces students to each major area of contract law before exploring these areas in greater depth later in the casebook. Specifically, the casebook is broken into three major parts, each of which is designed not only to orient the students to the major subject areas of contract law, but is also meant to help them appreciate the connections and relationships between and among these subject various areas. Short problems and drafting exercises are included throughout the book to test the students’ understanding of material presented in the casebook and during classroom discussion. Additionally, included in the text are “thinking tools,” which are designed to help the student think critically about the law, along with theoretical, historical, doctrinal, contextual, and practice-oriented notes to enrich the students’ black-letter experience.

Key Features:

• Three-part design allows students to gain an appreciation of all parts of contract law and • Brief introductions before each major section, along with thought questions designed to guide the students’ reading.
• Short problems and drafting exercises throughout the book to test the students’ understanding of material presented in the casebook and during classroom discussion.
• “Thinking tools,” designed to help the student think critically about the law, along with theoretical, historical, doctrinal, contextual, and practice-oriented notes to enrich the students’ black-letter experience.
• A healthy balance of classic and modern cases to illustrate major contract law concepts.
