Selected Issues in Construction Law contains analysis of judge-made case law associated with (1) a construction contractor's duty to warn, (2) the availability of punitive and consequential damages, including lost profits, and (3) the ability to waive construction contract arbitration clauses.

Please note that this reprinting contains information from the late 1990s and should be considered historical and in need of update to reflect the current state of the law.
