Cases and materials on contracts

"The fourth edition of this casebook offers students and instructors an up-to-date collection of materials suitable for the basic course in contract law. Indeed, its currency sets it apart from other learning resources. The theoretical framework of contract law is outlined and explored in the first chapter. This provides students with the context and understanding required to fully grasp the more traditional and doctrinal analysis included in subsequent chapters. The book introduces students to the principal current legal theoretical perspectives, and invites inquiry into their relationship with contract law and with each other. Carefully selected and edited cases and materials draw from Canadian, Commonwealth, and American sources to present a comprehensive, well-integrated overview of the subject. The enlarged team of authors have provided extensive notes, comments, and questions that plumb the depths of contract law. The book is equally suitable for those courses that begin with competing theories of contract law, contract formation, or contract remedies."--Pub. desc.
