    This theoretical exploration of Contract Law has very practical implications. By focusing initially on theory, students develop a framework for analyzing and predicting the outcome of contract disputes. Working from that framework, students gain an understanding of the lawyer’s counseling and drafting functions so as to avoid future contract disputes. In order to meet their pedagogical objectives, the authors employ the following features and / or themes:

    • Overview chapter presents the issues, methods, theory, and basic doctrines of modern contract law, serving as both a framework for analysis as well as a preview of subsequent chapters.

    • Many chapters contain introductory essays that present some of the basic doctrines and theoretical approaches covered in the chapter. Additional essays within each chapter sharpen the focus on the particular doctrines discussed in each section.

    • Extensive Note sections encourage students to integrate theory and doctrine in specific contexts.

    • Contract rules are evaluated using a functional approach so that students consider the underlying purposes and policy goals.

    • The Fourth Edition adds cases and analyses of new developments in contract law while condensing the current edition to facilitate teaching within a four-credit as well as a five- or six-credit format.

    • A statutory supplement contains UCC Articles 1 and 2 and selected provisions and comments from the Restatement (Second) of Contracts.

    A Teacher’s Manual / Documentary Supplement is also available.

    Professors and adjunct professors may request complimentary examination copies of LexisNexis law school publications to consider for class adoption or recommendation. Please identify the book(s) you wish to receive, provide your institutional contact information, and submit your request here.

    This book also is available in a heavily discounted, three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version printed on 8 ½ x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.
