Cases and Materials on Contracts 9th Edition

This  classic casebook, now in its 9th Edition, offers first-year students a  solid and inviting introduction to contract law, recognizing both the  English and American common law traditions and bringing them into our  age of statutes, most particularly the Uniform Commercial Code. Like  earlier editions, the 9th Edition features carefully-selected cases,  well-tailored notes and problems, and authoritative textual discussions  of major developments in current contract law. These include the meaning  of assent and agreement (with particular focus on the online  environment and in the context of mandatory arbitration clauses);  attention to comparative and international approaches; and accessible  discussion of theoretical underpinnings of contract doctrine, the  importance of which remain a mainstay of this new edition. The casebook  is ecumenical in its outlook, presenting a well-balanced approach that  is usable by professors with a wide-range of theoretical outlooks and  pedagogical styles. Cases are situated within a variety of  disciplines―history, economics, philosophy, and ethics―and present the  law in a variety of typical settings―commercial, familial, employment,  consumer, real estate and so on. The 9th Edition will feel familiar yet  fresh to current users and both exciting and comfortable to newcomers.
