This casebook focuses on the rules and principles of contract law,
as well as the lawyer's role in planning and drafting contracts.
Chapter One traces a contract case from the agreement stage, to a
breakdown in the parties' relationship, to a lawsuit, to a decision
in the trial court, and finally to the appellate court's opinion.
It includes supporting material, including the parties' agreement,
a correspondence from the lawyer to the client, the complaint, a
motion to dismiss, the answer, the trial judge's charge to the
jury, the special verdict form, the trial judge's decision on
motions after the verdict, and the appellate court opinion. These
materials help students understand where cases come from and
lawyers' various roles, including planning, negotiating,
counseling, drafting, as well as litigating. Following the
introduction, this casebook presents extensive material on the
theory and practice of transactional planning and drafting, as well
as additional materials from lawyers involved in the cases. The
Eighth Edition offers comprehensive coverage of contract law
theories of obligation, including bargain, promissory estoppel,
unjust enrichment, and tort arising in the contract setting. This
edition includes new cases and secondary sources on developing
issues of contract law. In particular, the casebook introduces
several new readings on electronic contracts, algorithmic
contracting, and the relationship of contracting to public health.
Many of the secondary readings have been condensed and summarized,
and the overall book has been streamlined. The casebook retains its
strength in traditional subjects such as good faith, parol
evidence, gap filling, conditional obligation, and breach, but the
Eighth Edition contains fewer pages (and one less chapter) than
earlier editions and is suitable for a 4, 5 or 6 hour course.
