Problems in Contract Law: Cases and Materials, Concise Edition, is a comprehensive, modern, and accessible casebook specifically designed for use in three- and four-credit, one-semester Contracts courses. Following the same organization and scope of coverage of the authors’ successful unabridged casebook, this Concise Edition streamlines coverage of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and revises cases and notes to sharpen the focus on the core principles of contract law so that professors can cover all of the material in one semester.

Well-known for approaching contract law and theory from multiple perspectives and using a variety of contractual settings, the text includes cases with notes and explanatory text, additional commentary, essay and short-answer problems, and multiple-choice review questions for each chapter. The cases selected are a balance of traditional and contemporary that reflect the development and complexity of contract law. Explanatory notes and text place the classic and newer decisions in their larger legal context. Questions and problems provide opportunities to practice core legal skills and encourage students to explore the relationship of theory and practice. Adaptable for instructors with different pedagogical philosophies, Problems in Contract Law, Concise Edition can easily be used in teaching by traditional case analysis, through problem-based instruction, or using theoretical inquiry.

Professors and students will benefit from:

● The authors’ emphasis on making the material accessible for both students taking and professors teaching the course--rejecting a hide-the-ball approach.
● The continued appeal to professors with various teaching methodologies: traditional, problem-oriented, theoretical, and practical.
● The comprehensive nature of the contents which allows professors the flexibility to teach their students the basics or conduct a more in-depth analysis of a given topic.
● The continued mixture of classic and contemporary cases.
● Review questions at the end of each chapter that are primarily designed for students to perform self-assessments of their grasp of the material. Answers with explanations are included in an appendix within the book.
