    Recognizing that most professors love to teach Contract Law but that few students share such passion for the subject, the authors of Making and Doing Deals: Contracts in Context aim to make Contract Law enjoyable while nevertheless challenging. Beyond instructing students on how to recognize issues and apply legal concepts in the academic setting, this text seeks to provide students with a functional understanding of how Contract Law operates in the “real world.” Contract Law is made accessible for students and is at times presented with a bit of humor. At the same time, students are challenged throughout to think seriously and critically about the law.

    The authors have carefully selected a diverse blend of cases, both classic and contemporary, to capture reader interest, expose students to Contract Law doctrine, and present practice and policy issues. Introductory text preceding the cases, as well as the problems and questions that follow, invite students to question:
    (1) why am I reading this case or problem,
    (2) what should I be learning from the case or problem,
    (3) do I agree with the result, and
    (4) how does it relate to the materials already covered.

    The Second Edition retains much of the structure and content of the earlier edition. The modest changes are intended to:

    • Reference the pertinent revisions made to Article 2 in 2003;
    • Reflect a handful of developments on the electronic front, including a new section on electronic acceptances;
    • Replace some old cases with new cases that the authors believe will serve as better teaching vehicles;
    • Reduce the background materials that had been in the Appendix and incorporate those materials directly into Chapter 1—the introductory chapter; and
    • Restructure the organization of certain materials to appear in an order that, based on feedback from users, the authors believe will make the book even more useable for students.

    The accompanying Teacher’s Manual provides a brief explanation of the authors’ purpose for inclusion of each case, provides a detailed summary of each case, and includes the authors’ thoughts and perspectives for approaching each topic in the book

    Professors and adjunct professors may request complimentary examination copies of LexisNexis law school publications to consider for class adoption or recommendation.
