This book contains the papers prepared for a conference held at the
Wisconsin Law School in 2011 to honour the work of Stewart
Macaulay, one of the most famous contracts scholars of his
generation. Macaulay has been writing about contracts and contract
law for over 50 years; the 1960s were particularly productive years
for him, when he introduced many novel ideas into the scholarly
world. Macaulay's foundational work for what is now called
relational contract theory was published during this period.
Macaulay is also known for his use of empirical research and
interdisciplinary theories to illuminate our knowledge of
contracting practices. The papers in this volume reflect, in
diverse ways, on the subsequent influence and the contemporary
relevance of Macaulay's work. All the contributors are important
contracts scholars in their own right: David Campbell and John
Wightman from the UK, Brian Bix, Jay Feinman, Robert Gordon, Claire
Hill, Charles Knapp, Ethan Leib, Deborah Post, Edward Rubin, Carol
Sanger, Robert Scott, Gordon Smith, Josh Whitford (with Li-Wen Lin)
and William Woodward from the USA. The volume also reproduces
Macaulay's most cited paper, 'Non-Contractual Relations in
Business', and excerpts from two other important papers of his,
'Private Legislation and the Duty to Read-Business Run by IBM
Machine, the Law of Contracts and Credit Cards', and 'The Real and
The Paper Deal: Empirical Pictures of Relationships, Complexity and
the Urge for Transparent Simple Rules'.
